# <given-names>

# Given (First) Names

Includes all given names for a person, such as the first name, middle names, maiden name if used as part of the married name, etc.)

## Remarks

As a typical example, in the name “John Q. Delancey Public”, the <given-names> would be “John Q. Delancey” and the <surname> would be “Public”.

Care should be taken with multipart names to divide the components into family names (<surname>) and personal names (<given-names>) in as culturally appropriate a fashion as possible. Initials can be preserved separately using the @initials attribute.

    <surname initials=”Q”>Llanos De La Torre Quiralte</surname>
    <given-names initials=”M”>M</given-names>

    <surname initials=”U”>Usdin</surname>
    <given-names initials=”BT”>B. Tommie</given-names>

    <surname initials=”GM” >Gonzalez Martin</surname>
    <given-names initials=”J”>Josquin</given-names>

    <surname initials=”M”>McNair</surname>
    <given-names initials=”KPC”>Kenneth Pritchard Carnu</given-names>

    <surname initials=”B”>Ben Gurion</surname>
    <given-names initials=”D”>David</given-names>

    <surname initials=”B”>Ben-Gurion</surname>
    <given-names initials=”D”>David</given-names>

    <surname initials=”M”>de la Mare</surname>
    <given-names initials=”WJ”>Walter John</given-names>

    <surname initials=”D” >Di Iorio</surname>
    <given-names initials=”S”>Silvio</given-names>

    <surname initials=”T”>Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa, de</surname>
    <given-names initials=”H”>Henri Marie Raymond</given-names>

    <surname initials=”L”>Lewis</surname>
    <given-names initials=”CS”>CS</given-names>

    <surname initials=”L”>Lewis</surname>
    <given-names initials=”CS”>C.S.</given-names>

Best Practice: There is no single style that best handles all single (one-part) names. Tibetan, Indian, and Burmese single names that are not surnames may be tagged as <given-names>; there is no need to commit the tag abuse of calling the given name a surname. Most westernized single names (“Pele”, “Prince”, “Babyface”, “Aztek”) are more likely to be retrieved properly if they are tagged as <surname>s.
