To discuss a thing, it must have an identity. A name supplies an identity for a thing. Once named, we may now speak of it. The bedrock of any good set of standards starts with names. Regardless of the role we may play in managing technological solutions, everything needs a name because everything will be discussed.

A surrogate is, "One appointed to act in place of another." A surrogate key is appointed to act in place of a natural key. Why? Well, one could argue that surrogate keys existed since the beginning of the computer. As the computer uses internal addresses for finding everything, and in the early days that usage had to be explicitly managed by those programming. It wasn't until relational theory came along that the concept of using data values as identifiers arose and were functionally implemented.
