    INNBLIKK. Even though Norway is an egalitarian country with a high degree of equality between men and women, it is still most common for a Norwegian woman to take her husband’s name after marriage. View the statistics below:

    • 20% of Norwegian women keep their own last names
    • 80% of Norwegian women take their husband’s name
      • 34% drop their maiden name completely
      • 46% change their maiden name to their middle name, but use their husband’s last name

    The statistics are much different for men:

    • 93% of Norwegian men do not change their names at all after marriage
    • 7% of Norwegian men take their wife’s last name or combine their last names
