This is not correct for Romania: officially it’s Surname + Given-name, live in Hungary.

Not true for Greece, it’s just First-name + Surname. It just happens that some Surnames are derived from the father’s name (think “Anderson”).

    Hopefully this isn’t too pedantic, but it shouldn’t say “first name” on any of these. It should say “given name” or “personal name”.

    The entire point of the map is that it isn’t the first name for some cultures.

    What happens on blue countries when mother and father don’t have the same surname? For example when they are not married or the mother didn’t bother to change her surname

    The map is incorrect for Ukraine. It’s either first name + surname, or surname + first name + father’s name for the documents.

      Very very long. I was entering a friend from Madeira into my phone a few weeks ago, and theirs was technically 7 names long.

      Add to that the “so, which is your surname?” and getting 4 possible answers, all of which are in fact surnames.

      There is also my friend who is half Spanish, half Portuguese. All his names shuffle around all the time depending on who he’s speaking to.

        When someone asks for my surname, sometimes I give my mother’s surname, sometimes my father’s surname and sometimes both, depending on my mood
