Is there any country on which the maternal last name is used instead of the pate

Question:

Is there any country on which the maternal last name is used instead of the paternal one?

I would like to know if there are any countries on which they use the mother's last name instead of the father's.

I'm from Mexico, and in here let's say that: Juan Perez (father) and Rosa Gomez (mother) have a child, so the full name would be Diana Perez Gomez, but actually for legal purposes, the child will be Diana Perez. I know it's the same for countries like Japan, for example. Is there any country on which the surname for legal purposes would be Diana Gomez?
