In Portugal, we usually have **two given names**, followed by **our mother’s and father’s surnames**. But it really depends some people have **five names** (like my mother, for example), while my father only has **three**. I even know a few people who have **six names** in total!
Horrible ‘Europe’ map
Sort of depends. At least in Italy you’ll often officially see Surname-First Name. Certainly, for instance, if a doctor calls you from a waiting room or you’re giving your name for a hotel reservation, you’ll most likely hear that.
In Greece, we don’t have our father’s name. My name is just first name plus surname, and the only time i have to insert ny dad’s name is in official documents when they specifically ask for it.
Blue region is always Fathers surname right? Why its not specified?
We have first name, second name (+ third name) and then surname. Almost everyone here has at least second name.
EDIT: Finland
For the Spain one, if your surname is your parents surname, how does that work over generations?
Like, if your grandfathers surname is Hernandez and your grandmother is Rodriguez, then their kid, your dad would be Hernandez Rodriguez. And add your mother Garcia Antonio, then you would be Hernandez Rodriguez Garcia Antonio.
And then you have a kid with Gonzales Rafael, then your kid would have to be Hernandez Rodriguez Garcia Antonio Gonzales Rafael. Etc etc
It seems untenable in the long run. Or am i misunderstanding?
In Spain, it is the parents’ choice which surname comes first
Reunified Cyprus
in Poland we use both orders: first+last &last+first
Pater semper incertus est!
The green one kind of informally applies in certain parts of rural Ireland. Like your name might be ‘John Gallagher’ but you might be known as “John Joseph (Gallagher)” if Joseph is your dad’s name and there’s a lot of Gallaghers in the area. Often the surname is left out altogether (“John Joseph”) which makes it basically like the Iceland one
Hungary having the same naming convention with China and Japan rather than any European or Middle Eastern country in between is a historical oddity.
Blue should read: (FIRST NAME + FATHER’S SURNAME)
Nowadays in Spain people can change the order of surnames.
So, wait – Why was Miklos Horthy Miklos Horthy rather than Horthy Miklos?
nope
in Ukraine it’s surname + first name + father’s name for official stuff like documents
and when you want to simply express respect to a person you would use first name + father’s name
but overall a lot of ukrainians want to get rid of father’s name and simply use the first name + surname
Red and orange is quite common in Norway as well, especially now when a lot of people get kids together without getting married.
I want to point out that in Romania it’s in transition from surname first to surname second, thus it’s still a mixture in use.
How is it done in Hungary? Do you introduce yourself with your last name and people address you with your last name, like in Japan?
😞Verdammt, I’m the odd one out, first name, mothers surname + fathers surname.
I’m not Portuguese either.
Seems to be inaccurate for Romania. Officially, the order has always been Surname + Firstname and in some instances they also require the father’s first name
I remember a middle school teacher I had telling me never to write First Name + Surname, but Surname + First Name because I’m not important enough to start with my first name
Iceland shifting concerningly close to Scotland, what are they planning
Iceland being the coolest European country yet again
r/ICELANDCYKABLYAT
Not accurate
In former Soviet Union countries it was Surname First Name then Fathers name – the information on this map is wrong.
Surname + first name is a very bavarian thing as well
In Bavaria it’s Last name + First name
Doesn’t most of these have more than one first name? We have names like
Kullagårdens Anna Josefin Pipialia Knutsson-Von Helsing
but usually just written “Josefin Knutsson-Von Helsing” because the other ones are spare and not in use, only *tilltalsnamn* is used unless needed. And both parents surnames can be combined into a new one.
The *order* is still correct though.
Neither Iceland nor Russia/Belarus/Ukraine/Bulgaria etc are simply “father’s name”. It’s a patronymic – an adjective that denotes in Iceland often direct “-son/-daughter of” and in others “of…”
In Bavaria its surname first
in norway, the law is very dumb as it’s customary to get both names of your parents. But we must relegate one to middle name status for no reason.
Wrong for Russia. Surname – first name – father’s name
France is surname first.
