>knows 2 of my names
WTF stalker

But seriously, what's the obligatory (I mean required by your administration) form? X son of Y?

yes, then grandpa, great grandfather etc. I was always wondered if westerns were aware of this

I know how traditional Arabic names work, historically speaking, but sometimes modern administration requires other forms. They can be also introduced by colonisers, imitators, etc. My father had one friend from Tunisia (he studied here) and his name was European-like. I know that Tunisia is a very Europeanised Arabic country, but Sudan could also change the traditional way, especially since you had socialist rulers before that current traditionalist government, no?

Do Brazilians have that Iberian custom with two surnames?

Wait can you explain to me how names work in the western world? I remember dealing with a dutch client and he fucking had 3 extra names(????) which confused the fuck out of me.

Names here go like this:
Your Name, Father's name, Grandfather's name,. . . Your family name*
*= some people drop their family name(for example in Egypt family names denoted where you came from, names such as Bayoumi meant that you came from fayoum and so on)

We have patrnymics, does this count?

In English speaking countries all that matters is your surname, which is given from your father. Most women change their surname once married to that of their husbands, and their original surname becomes their "maiden name".

Middle names are entirely optional and are usually named after someone in the family. Mine comes from a dead uncle I think.

don't really know mate i suppose so.
my name is literally same as grandad, first and second names after him, family name, word for "grandson of", and last my dad added years after because he felt like a cuck for not having none from his side.

>tfw mutt and one of my last names is spanish and the other is english

It really depends on the country,
eg. here we usually have the first given name (given during the baptism or in the state office, if the parents aren't religious); then we have the second given name (not always, but most people have it, it helps to differentiate between people who have identical first name and surname); then we usually have the third given name (given during so-called "confirmation" when we are teenagers, this name isn't registered by the state) and then we have one surname that we inherit after our father. Traditionally women take the surname of their husbands, but around ww1 some women started to combine their own surname inherited after their father with husband's surname, like "Maria Curie-Skłodowska". Also in very rare cases some Poles have two surnames - the first indicates their coat of arms and the second one is the real surname, like Janusz Korwin-Mikke = Janusz Mikke, coat of arms Korwin (the crow), but as I wrote - this is really, really rare.

Now - traditionally in some Nordic countries they used a very "Arabic-like" system, eg. Snorri Sturluson = Snorri son of Sturlu (I think that this system may be still in use in Island).

On the other hand in Spain and in Portugal they have typocal Catholic system of given names + two surnames - the first surname of their father and the first surname of their mother.

Russians have one given name, then one "otchestvo" indicating their father's given name and then the surname, like Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin = Vladimir, son of Vladimir + surname Putin.

Oh, I would forgot - in Hungary they put their surnames before their given names, almost like people in Eastern Asia.

forget, sry

How do you not end up with an infinite number of last names as the generations go on?

Oh I get it now. Thank you very much for your detailed explaination.

I have a surname and a (unregistered) nickname for my family

our names are the same as spaniards

usually its:
given name (+optional second given name) + your fathers first family name + your mothers first family name
women used to change their maternal family name for "of husbands first family name", my grandma changed hers and it was already considered old fashioned
i think in portugal they have it backwards, maternal first
>t. juan herrera-adams
you only inherit the first last name from each parent
