Last name aliases aren't specific to the person - they result (most commonly) when last names are nationalized to fit into a new country, but can result for other reasons. A commonly known jewish one is Cohen is also Kuhn depending on country, just as it is commonly known that many Irish 'Americanized' their names by dropping the 'Mc' and the 'O'' from their names when coming over.
Just google a bit - there is a wealth of information on this from the genealogical communities.
