Last Names, or Surnames, weren't common until the Middle Ages, and even then, they were used predominantly to identify either lineage (father to son or father to daughter) or professions (i.e. Shoemaker, Thatcher, Smith, etc).
Daedalus would not have had a Surname. Most people in Ancient Greece would simply have been known by a name. Only people of importance would need to be known by their lineage, such as "Daedalus, son of Palamaon", or by their city of residence "Daedalus of Athens/Crete". People of great renown might even have an epithet, such as how Apollo had the epithets "Phoebus" and "Pythos".
