'Fraid not. I don't know what Gendo's original last name is, but it 
wasn't Ikari. Yui's last name was Ikari, and Gendo had his name changed 
to match. Go figure. Maybe he hated his parentage.

		His real surname is Robunguki. In Japanese society if the man is of a lower
socio-economic class than the woman it is common for him to take his wifes
surname.
