  Oxford Advanced Learner's English Dictionary

Among Russian speakers there have long been ongoing lively discussions about the so-called "thousand shades name" in English language. It would seem that everything is simple: first name, last name and patronymic - everything you need for a successful acquaintance. However, the English language, as always, breaks the stereotypes and heads of Russian speakers: they have first name, and last name, and middle name, and surname, and given name, and Christian name, and family name, and all this together is generally a complex name. So you won’t be able to figure out how to introduce yourself the first time.

He will probably be asked at the first meeting. In English, first name is, literally translated, “first name,” that is, just a name - the one that people usually use, a personal name given at birth. It is often asked when registering on English-language resources, when filling out documents in English, and when making online purchases through American and English payment systems.

IN Everyday life You can easily hear the following remarks:

• My first name is Daniel, but my friends call me Danny, and so you can. - My name is Daniel, but my friends call me Danny, and you can too.
• What is your first name, sir? Can I use it for us to communicate less formal? - What is your name, sir? Can I address you by your first name to be less formal?
• I would like to change my first name because I don"t really like to be called Cristine, I feel more like Janette. - I would like to change my first name because I don't really like it when people call me Christine ;I feel more like Jeanette.

If during registration you are required to indicate a first name, Russian speakers can safely indicate their name.

Last name, unlike first name, is, paradoxically, not really a name. That is, of course, if translated literally, this phrase means “last name.” However, if the Russian translation gave some clue to the meaning of the phrase first name, then for last name it only confuses a Russian-speaking person. In fact, everything is simple: last name is a surname.

• My last name is Brown, and I "m very proud of it, because the Browns always used to be talented and honest! - My last name is Brown, and I am very proud of it, because the Browns have always been famous for their talent and honesty!
• I used to be known as Mary Smith, but now I married Robert Fisher and changed my last name. People call me Mary Fisher now. - I was known as Mary Smith, but I married Robert Fisher and changed my last name. Now they call me Mary Fisher.

If, when registering or filling out documents, you are required to indicate the last name, we are clearly talking about the last name.

Middle name

In modern English there is no concept of "patronymic". If first name is the first name, then middle name is the middle name, which often puts Russian speakers into a logical dead end. In fact, many Americans, British, Australians and others in English-speaking countries have middle names. For example:

• Joanne Kathleen Rowling is the author of the Harry James Potter series.
• John Winston Lennon - one of the founders of the group The Beatles.
• John Christopher "Johnny" Depp is a famous actor.

In official documents, the middle name is often not indicated in full. It is replaced by the initial: Joan K. Rowlin."

Surname

With this English term, everything is extremely simple: it literally means what Russian speakers call a surname. Despite the fact that this word seems simpler than the strange last name, it is used much less often.

Another option for how to say a surname in English. Of course, there are slight differences here. For example, in the example already given above, in which a girl changes her last name from Smith to Fisher, her family name - the last name of her family - will remain Smith, but her surname will change.

Translated into Russian - almost the same as first name. This " given name", that is, the name that was given to the person at birth. Of course, they may differ. For example:

• My given name is John, but I changed it two years ago, so now my first name "s James. - At birth I was given the name "John", but I changed it two years ago; now my name is James.

In official documents and when registering on websites, the term given name is not used, but in colloquial speech or may well appear in the literature.

Literally translated - " christian name", that is, the name that was given to a person at baptism. It rarely differs from the first name and is naturally absent from representatives of other religions.

complex name

A complex or full name in English includes first, middle and last name. Sometimes a person may not have a middle name, or there may be several of them (just remember the famous joke about Pablo Picasso’s full name, which includes at least a dozen complex middle names).

Despite the fact that this system of names in English seems incredibly illogical and complex, if you have the appropriate desire to understand it, it will not be difficult at all.

First Name - a field where you need to write your first name, that is, only your first name, not your last name, not your patronymic. The field may be somewhere during registration, for example, you need to fill out a document when making a purchase on Aliexpress, delivery.

In general, when you fill out something, you need to fill out a paper or electronic document, and there may be a First Name field there.

Once again, in the First Name field we simply write the name and that’s it. Not a surname.

What then should I write in the Last Name? And here you need to write your last name. If we translate Last Name literally, it will be something like the last name - this is the surname. Although I agree that all this is a little unclear..

First Name and Last Name - translation into Russian:

Instead of Last Name there can also be Family Name:

You may also come across such a field as Surname last name - what is this? As I understand it, if it is written this way, then this also means a surname. In general, everyone can get confused in this..

How to correctly indicate your first and last name?

But that's not all the difficulty you may encounter. Look, you already understand where you need to write your first name and where your last name. But how to write? The fact is that you may be asked to write not in Russian letters, but in English.

You may think - well, what’s so complicated, I’ll write it down in English letters. But no, wait, the point is that there is something like... in general, there is some kind of official transliteration. In general, there are some rules, I don’t know, but it is important to indicate your first and last name correctly, even if in English letters.

Look, my name is Dmitry Sharikov, and so I found a site on the Internet where there is an official transliteration from Russian into English (even according to some GOST), and there I wrote my name and clicked the Transliterate button (the word is just wow):

And here is the result:

That is, you see, it seems simple - but there are still some rules, some kind of GOST standard...

You can easily find the site on which I did all this in Yandex, I won’t write it, otherwise it will be like an advertisement. There are other sites, but I found this one, it was in first place and seemed to be good)

Examples of First Name and Last Name fields - fill out carefully!

Middle Name - what does it mean?

But there is also such a thing as Middle Name - what is it? But this is interesting, I didn’t even know, but... in some countries they give it another name. That is, a person can have two names! And for the second name the Middle Name field was invented.

And here is the translation into Russian of Middle Name:

If you do not have a second name, then Middle Name does not need to be filled in. Also, where you fill out, there may be a checkmark next to Middle Name, it can activate or deactivate the field.

Middle Name field

Yes, here's more important information regarding Middle Name. Many people write their middle name here, while the field is intended for their middle name (this is common in the West). But in fact, Middle Name and patronymic are different things. And it also seems... like... in the Middle Name you need to write what is written in your passport, if you have one. In general, here is a hint for you on this topic:

Note to you:

1. Fill out the fields carefully, write correctly, if necessary in English letters - then use some popular service for translating Russian words into transliteration.
2. If you are filling out a document in some office or institution, then ask nearby how and what to fill out. It’s better to ask than to be refused later because of one wrong letter, especially when these are bank documents.

That's all. Good luck and may everything work out for you.

To fill out documents or register on some social networks, you must fill out special fields. In the article we will look at what a first name is - a first name or a surname, and how to enter a middle name for paperwork. The work also publishes rules for writing English names.

First name

First name - first name or last name? What does this phrase mean when translated into Russian? For those who do not know the answer to this question or have forgotten it since school, we will tell you. To do this, let's turn to the literal meaning. The translation of first name literally sounds like “first name”. It is not surprising, because in many families in the United States of America and England it is customary to give the child several names, instead of using the traditional Russian patronymic. As a rule, it is not used there. If in English speaking countries this is the “first name”, then is first name for us still a first name or a surname? Of course, the name that your parents gave you at birth. By the way, in our country the custom of giving a baby a double or even triple name is also becoming popular, although this practice has not yet become widespread. But if the first name is the first name, the last name is the second name? Not at all, there is a term for it, which we will discuss in the next section of the article.

Surname last name

What is first name (first name or surname) is now clear. But how are surname and last name translated? Surname is a surname interpreted into Russian from English. In American and English there is a synonym for this word and it sounds like last name, that is, the last name.

What is middle name

Literally translated from English, the phrase middle name is translated into Russian as “middle name”. Some people mistakenly confuse it with a middle name, but this is not entirely correct. In America and England, a “middle” or middle name can be any name you like that is not related to the father’s name. The child may be named after his grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, or even a loved one literary character. People there don’t think much about harmonies, as is customary in our country. Why is it called "average"? In English-speaking countries, it is customary to put the person’s first name first, not the person’s last name, as in Russia. This is how all documents are drawn up: first goes the name, then the middle name, if there is one, and only then the last name.

Christian name

In addition to the second name, a person can also have a Christian name, that is, a name given during the baptismal ceremony. There is also given name - given or proper name. All this is combined into a complete name - that is, the full name translated into Russian. Some believing families in Russia also have a rule about the name given at baptism. This name cannot be spoken to strangers; only family members and godparents know it. It is believed that the second name will ward off the evil eye, damage and other people's evil from a person. That is why it is so carefully hidden from strangers.

A little about how to answer the question about your name

If you are asked to give your name in a conversation with a native speaker, you can say your first name alone or along with your last name. If the interlocutor uses the word name in combination with first or given, according to the rules, only the name is called. The same goes for paperwork. If the name is preceded by the word surname or last, then it is filled in in the column, and during a conversation only the surname is called.

Filling out documentation

Let's take a closer look at filling out document fields in English. First of all, what to do if the letters of your first or last name are difficult to write in Latin letters, for example, if we're talking about about such Russian letters as ы, ё, й?

Correlation of Russian letters with English spelling

Writing such letters is in many ways reminiscent of phonetic analysis of a word, when a vowel is broken into two separate sounds:

Now let’s take a closer look at filling out the questionnaire using a card as an example. Let's look at the items that most often cause difficulty filling out for those who are traveling abroad for the first time:

• First name and last name columns. How to fill it out in Russian or Latin letters? You can select any entry from your passport or international passport. You can use your marriage certificate. If you have several passports, use the one that matches the inscription on your birth certificate.
• Middle name. You can enter your middle name here or simply skip this point.
• When filling out the city, only the city itself is indicated; the district or region does not need to be indicated. If we are talking, for example, about St. Petersburg, then its Latin name is St. Petersburg.
• "Country of birth" item. If on this moment the country in which you were born changed its name, then the name that is accepted today is indicated. For example, not Soviet Union, A Russian Federation, Ukraine, Estonia and so on.

Finally, some interesting facts from the life of the English queen. The Queen of Great Britain is known all over the world. But not everyone knows that she doesn’t have what every person has. Elizabeth does not have a surname. But there are two whole middle names. And the Queen, due to her origin, does not need to obtain a passport, much less an international passport. She can freely fly to anywhere in the world at will.

We hope that now you have clearly understood the question of whether a surname or first name is first name, and filling out documents, forms, and questionnaires in the future will not cause you any difficulties regarding the name, surname and patronymic.
