Whenever the gods go incognito, they often use their epithets as last names, and old dates for festivals or other events for their birthdays (or they just state the birthday or death date of a famous person).
They've done this so much that they actually treat epithets as their actual last names and celebrate their "birthday", like Dionysus who's "birthday" is November 29, which is the death date of Italian opera composer Giacomo Puccini, while he switches between using Bromios and Choiropsalas as pseudonyms.
Sometimes there are demigods who don't know their last name or birthday, due to not having a birth certificate, their mortal parent being missing, or never receiving one. So to counter that, Chiron gives them a last name of the epithet of their respective godly parent, and a birthday of someone famous. There was a demigod daughter of Ares, who was abandoned by her mother as soon as she was born, because of this she had no surname, so Chiron gave her the surname Polydakros meaning "Father of tears" and yes, it was a epithet of Ares.
