Abstract
Documentation:
Contains a non-given name. This is an inherited name or one representing a family relationship or in some cultural contexts a "Place Name" (where someone is from). In some cultural contexts, a single family name is typical, while in others there may be multiple family names. A "primary" attribute may be used in the case where there are multiple last names. A family name can have a "prefix," such as Von, De, Van, Al, etc. These can be represented using the FamilyName "prefix" attribute. Not all implementers may find it necessary to separate prefixes from the family name itself. Capturing the prefix and FamilyName as discrete fields can become important when formatting or appearance may vary based on context. For example, in some cultural contexts it may be common to use a blank space as the delimiter between the prefix and the family name, while in others a hyphen might be used. Separating the prefix from FamilyName allows such formatting requirements to be handled flexibly.
