Two tables with the same column name in my data model

Hi all,

I have the script below, the problem is both tables (client and contact) have a column called "Surname". The script returns contact.Surname; however, I am interesting in client.Surname. IT is unable to rename the column(s). Can I add a prefix to "surname" to specify that I want client's surname? or what is the best way to approach this problem?

Test:

LOAD

Primary_contact,
Surname,

SQL SELECT *
FROM client
left join contact

on client_ID = contact_ID

Regards
