some families in japan trace lineage through the female, as well as pass on things through the daughter etc.

It was stated long ago in Manga that the 3rd Hokage gave Naruto His mothers family name to protected Naruto from His father's enemies, no one was to know Naruto was the son of the 4 th Hokage.
