Perhaps Pontius Pilate and several other non-Jewish Biblical characters had last names. But as LARobert pointed out, Jewish last names were essentially rehashes of the father’s name (and that for purposes of lineage and identification (most Biblical Jewish names were shared by many people in the same area)).
