Correct writing of English name format
The general structure of English names is: Christian name+self name+surname.

Such as William Jafferson Clinton (william jefferson clinton). But on many occasions, middle names are often omitted, such as George Bush, and many people prefer to use nicknames rather than formal Christian names, such as Bill Clinton. (Bill Clinton) The above Christian names and middle names are also called personal names. With regard to capitalization, the first letter of each part of a person's surname and first name should be capitalized and the rest of the letters should be lowercase.

China people's names are written in Chinese Pinyin: surname comes first, surname comes last, and surname and first name are written separately.

(Name Yuchun, surname Li)

With the improvement of China's economic and cultural status, China people's names are no longer linked end to end when they are changed to English, but according to our own traditional habits in China, such as:

Zhang San Zhang San

For multi-word names, you only need to capitalize the first letter of 1 word and last name, and separate last name from first name, for example:

Zhang San San Zhang San San

If there is a phonetic uprising in the name, it needs to be separated by sound insulation symbols in the middle, as shown in the following example:

Zhangxi 'ao and Zhangxi 'ao

Names usually contain some meanings, such as:

1. Many English names originated from Greek and Roman culture, using ancient celebrities or characters in literary masterpieces as Christian names, using the names of mountains, rivers, birds and animals, fish, insects, flowers and trees as Christian names, using technology-related word formation to create Protestant names, and using mother's maiden name as middle name.

King-King (King)

2. Some English names come from their occupations, such as:

Smith-blacksmith

Baker.-Baker
