** A Lower City villain from the first ''Beka Cooper'' has a last name that appears associated with a Lower City hireling in ''Literature/ProtectorOfTheSmall'' but there's no telling if the two are actually related.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'': The Canmore family claim descent from 11th-century Scottish king Malcolm III Canmore[[note]] apparently through his son [=Domnall/Donald=], of whom historians know basically nothing aside from the fact that he existed, so he ''could'' have living descendants today for all we know[[/note]]. It's an odd case since Canmore (generally used to mean "great chief", though a more direct translation would be "big head") was Malcolm's ''nickname'' (and in real life may not even have been applied to him during his lifetime), not his surname, although presumably in-story his descendants took it to reflect the fact that he was the first in their line to assume the mantle of Hunter, and they are continuing his legacy of [[VanHelsingHateCrimes hunting]] [[FantasticRacism gargoyles]] into the present day.

* In ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'', noble family names last a very long time. The Stark name lasts about 8,000 years as of the start of the series. Though, this is according to the Maesters: according to author Creator/GeorgeRRMartin, their recordkeeping isn't nearly as good as it's cracked up to be. History in ASOIAF is prone to exaggeration for various reasons, not least of which is [[WrittenByTheVictors wanting to make the incumbents look better]].

For what it's worth, we can be sure that all of the current Great Houses have existed since at least Aegon Targaryen's conquest 300 years ago (an event that undisputedly happened), and Houses Stark of the North, Lannister of the Westerlands, Arryn of the Vale, and Martell of Dorne have been ruling their respective regions since that far back.[[note]]The Iron Islands and Riverlands were ruled by House Hoare, who were [[KillItWithFire literally roasted]] by the Targaryens and replaced by the Greyjoys and Tullys, respectively; House Gardener ruled the Reach at the time and were similarly roasted crispy, to be replaced by the Tyrells; and Orys Baratheon, a bastard half-brother of Aegon I, killed the last Durrandon king to rule over the Stormlands.[[/note]]
