| Documentation (of type) | This is a second "given name" or sometimes depending on cultural context, representative of family relationships. A middle name can have a prefix. For example, in Saudi names the word "Bin" means "son of" and would be a common prefix to a middle name usually representing the first name of the person's father. Some implementers may choose not to represent a prefix separately from a middle name. However, it may be desirable to do so for a number of reasons: 1. name sorting. For example, to support sorting on first letter of prefix and then by first letter of the middle name. 2. formatting. For example, depending on the cultural context in which the name is presented, the type of delimiter (e.g., a space or a hyphen) between the prefix and the family name (or whether a delimiter appears at) all may depend on the "alphabet" and/or cultural context in which the name is presented. |
