In the event of an article use: the "Cook" - for male individuals who "cook" in the singular - for female individuals and/or a "cook" for one and/or a relative from the family "Cook “And/or the group of namesers. The one in the plural applies to the family and/or all name carriers of the same name. The written, standard language use for last names is in principle without an article.
