Well, (Gary said, ddeliberately changing the ^Subject:),
interesting. My mother's parents are from Hungary, two of my
dad's grandparents from Germany.
Didn't know about Hungary (or Japan). China, yes. Anybody on this geek list know any other societies where the surname is traditionally presented first and the given name last?
In Russia, in all official documents name is written: Family_Name First_Name Middle_Name
So, my full name would be:
Smirnov Andrey AndreevichIn short form, we usually put first name in head of family name (surname):
Andrey Smirnov
This feels less official.So, it's sometimes hard to find out what is what if you don't know Russian names well.
