Which statement regarding partnership names is false?

The assertion that the partnership cannot adopt a name which does not include the name of at least one partner is incorrect because it is not universally true that a partnership name must include the name of a partner. While many jurisdictions require a partnership to have a name that provides some indication of the partners involved, it is permissible for a partnership to operate under a trade name or fictitious business name that does not necessarily contain the names of the individual partners, as long as local laws do not explicitly prohibit this.

For instance, partnerships often use a "doing business as" name (DBA) which might be more descriptive of the business activities than personal names, allowing for broader marketing appeal. By adhering to local business naming laws, a partnership can effectively choose a name that broadens its market presence without directly including each partner's name, thus allowing for greater flexibility in branding. Additionally, while it is common for partnership names to include partner names, it is not a strict requirement. This makes the statement regarding the necessity of including a partner's name false.
