How do I separate the last name only from say Kelvin F Pakaree?

[Kelvin]

I have a column of names which are separated with spaces. I only want the
last name. What formula/e can I use to get only the last name, example MRS
SALOME NAICKER, MR ALISTER KELVIN FRANCIS PAKAREE.

Goto "Data->Text to Columns"
