From what I know landless bondsmen did not have a surname. landowners, samurai or not would have had one

They had no family names and retarded personal names that essentially meant "Son n°1", "Son n°2" etc while the aristocrats had poetic and elaborate naming schemes much like in China.

The way it was described in Shogun was that adults are referred to by their vocation one guy is Fisher and the other Farmer and they might elaborate that "Farmer by the river" or something but that was it, and kids had that whole Firstson Secondson Firstdaughter thing going on
