um it can either be that a person marries someone and they keep their last name and take their spouses name
OR
it can be the child of a mom & dad that both decided to keep their own last names so therefore the child now has both last names

It means that someone has kept their last name- but also took on their spouse's last name. So like let's say we have Betty Jones. Betty marries Mike Smith. She wants to keep her last name, but take on her husbands too. Her new name is Betty Jones-Smith or Betty Smith-Jones. I'm not sure of the order.
It could also mean that your parents got remarried- and your mom married another man. I'm not sure how that works out, though. One of my sort-of friends has a hyphenated last name.
Hopefully that helps.

It's when two people get married and they don't wanna take on just one name. Usually if that happens they would hyphenate both their names together.
