in reply to a message by Nanaea
Technically not, for those who have Christian beliefs. We think of Joseph as more of a "stepfather", altho I suppose the surname
"Ben-Yhwh" or "Bar-Adonai" would have been a little tough to explain to your neighbors...
Incidentally, what's the difference between "Ben" and "Bar"? And do Hebrew women ever use "Bas"?

@@@@ Even adopted children take on the name of their adoptive father in Hebrew naming ceremonies. :)
"Incidentally, what's the difference between "Ben" and "Bar"?"
@@@@ "Bar" is Aramaic; "Ben" is Hebrew.
"And do Hebrew women ever use "Bas"?"
@@@@ "Bas + [father's given name]" or "Bat + [father's given name]". Yes, for religious purposes and Hebrew legal documents, women also are identified as "daughter of -- ".
