Née is used in French, and also in English, to describe a woman's last name (family name, surname) at birth. The more widely used term is her maiden name. Né, which is used much less often, indicates the birth last name of man, when his last name is now different. Most commonly, Née is used when a woman has changed her name due to marriage.
