It is common in many countries (for example, Western countries and Japan) for a woman to adopt her husband's last name when they marry. "Maiden name" refers to a woman's name before marriage. Ex: My mom didn't take my dad's last name, so she still uses her maiden name. Ex: The famous scientist publishes research under her maiden name.
