Actually the reason why he is Identified as Judas Iscariot has been lost to time. There was no region named Iscariot that we know of the we can attribute it to as him being from. Common thought is the Iscariot was added later post his betrayal and his named passed down that way. The root Scari was the name of assasin Jewish rebels in Roman antiquity so a common thought is the development of Iscariot coming about afterwards to identify him as the betrayer.

The two brothers James and John had the last name of Zebedee. (See Matthew 4:21 or Matthew 10:2)

I'm sure they did...Peter's name wasn't even Peter, but Jesus gave him that name as a symbol of the rock to build his church. For some reason, historians always refer to assassins/murderers/criminals using full names.....John Wilkes Booth, etc. It's probably so we can differentiate them from other people with the same names. After all, who wants to be associated with criminals? Not me...
Oh, thought of another thing, back then your "surname" lots of times was where you were from so they knew you were Jesus of Nazaraeth, for example, and not the other Jesus from Jerusalem. So, yes, there were other names given to people in order to differentiate.

Wrong supposition...
Here is my Greek dictionary's entry: Iscariot, “{man of Kerioth} or {of the assassins}”
... it denotes his home town, not a modern surname. It likely refers to Kerioth Hezron, a town 12 miles south of Hebron.
