first name和last name哪個是姓哪個是名？還有哪些說法？全名又該怎麼說？

在英語中，first name是指個人的名字，last name則是指個人的姓氏。因此，姓通常會放在名字的最前面，名字會放在姓的後面。

除了first name和last name，還有其他的說法可以表示個人名字的不同部分，例如：

• Given name：與first name相同，是指個人名字的第一個部分。

• Family name：與last name相同，是指個人姓氏的部分。

• Middle name：指個人名字的中間部分，通常不是必需的。

• Full name：表示個人的完整名字，包括first name、middle name和last name。

以下是一些例句：

• My first name is Sarah and my last name is Lee.（我的名字是莎拉，姓是李。）

• Her given name is Emily and her family name is Wang.（她的名字是艾米莉，姓是王。）

• John Fitzgerald Kennedy is an example of a person with a middle name.（約翰·菲茨杰拉德·肯尼迪就是有中間名字的人的例子。）

• Please write your full name on the application form.（請在申請表上寫上你的全名。）

• My full name is John Smith. 我的全名是約翰·史密斯。

• Please fill out the form with your first and last name. 請填寫表格，包括你的名和姓。

• In many Asian cultures, the family name comes before the given name. 在很多亞洲文化中，姓氏在名字之前。

• Her name is Elizabeth, but she goes by Liz for short. 她的名字是伊麗莎白，但簡稱為麗茲。

• I don't know his last name, but his first name is Jack. 我不知道他的姓是什麼，但他的名字是傑克。

• The doctor called my name and asked me to come in. 醫生叫我的名字讓我進去。

First Name 是名字，Last Name 是姓氏。

解釋

在英語和拉丁語系的國家中，大部分都是先說名字(first name)再加上姓 (last name)。

Michael Kors= 名字是Michael, 姓Kors.

Tim Burton= 名字是Tim, 姓Burton.

如果遇到名字比較長的，就是有中間名字 (middle name) 的人的話：

David Jude Heyworth Law

他的姓氏(last name)絕對是最後一個 Law. David Jude Heyworth 也都是他的名字，但他可以跟別人自我介紹時說：『叫我Jude 就可以了』，然後他最常使用的名字就是Jude.

通常他們在自我介紹時就都只說第一個名字 (first name) ，有需要的話再問他的姓氏。 (last name)

題目：

Taylor Swift 的姓氏是？

Bill Gates 的 first name 是什麼？

結論：

基本上不難。如果真的不確定的話，你可以主動問對方：『Which name would you prefer me to call you?』 （你比較希望我怎麼稱呼你？）

常常搞不清楚first and last name嗎 讓我來教你吧！

First name 前名？Last name 後名？

First name 是名字，也叫做given name，在國外他們把名字放在姓的前面於是就叫"First name"。

而如上面所說，姓放在後面，所以是"Last name"，有的時候也叫Surname

所以我到底應該如何向外國人介紹我自己？

相信大部分的人應該都有一些自己的英文名字，例如Amy, Jack, Joe, Nick 之類等等等。

跟同輩朋友介紹自己的時候就可以直接說

Hi, my name is Amy.

但如果在正式的場合，例如考試在對身份，或是學校在詢問的時候，由於上面說的原因，他們習慣把名字放在姓前面，所以請以：

First + Last name

這個公式來介紹自己的名字，我們稱作為你的"Full name"，完整的名字。

用最常見的王小明來當例子，他介紹自己的時候就得說：

Hi, my name is Da-Ming Wang.

不過現在大部分在國外很多人也會問："Do you have another name that you would like to be called"

你有其他習慣被稱呼的名字嗎？

這個時候你就能用上面那個最簡單明瞭的方式介紹自己囉！

這樣有清楚了嗎～

趕快拿起筆記本記起來吧！

first name：名

last names：姓

full name：全名
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

first name表示“名字”，last name表示“姓氏”

“姓氏”除了 “last name" 还有哪些说法：surname/family name

“名字”除了”first name"还有哪些说法：forename/given name

“全名”说法：full name

以上就是问题的解答，你学会了吗？

Surname vs. Last Name vs. Family Name

More often than not, the terms “surname”, “last name”, and “family name” are interchangeable in  the English-speaking world. “Surname” is sometimes considered more formal than “family name”.  The “last name” is different from “surname” and “family name” in parts of the world where the  family name is written first.

In the English-speaking world, the terms “surname”, “last name”, and “family name” are usually  interchangeable.

Between “surname” and “family name”, the only difference nowadays seems to be that “surname” is more  often used in formal documents, while “family name” is a less formal term.

It is, however, possible for the two to be different in rare cases, such as:

• Leonardo da Vinci

Here, “da Vinci” is not Leonardo’s family name, but it is his surname. His surname shows where he’s from,  as “da Vinci” means “from Vinci”. These cases were more common in the past.

In other parts of the world, however, the last name may be different from the surname and family name. For  example, in countries that speak Chinese, the surname or the family name is usually written first. In these  cases, using the term “last name” could cause confusion. Thus, it is better to avoid it and use either  “surname” or “family name” in these situations.

Surname

The term “surname” refers to the name a person shares with other members of his or her family,  tribe, or community.

A surname is what identifies an individual as a member of a family, tribe, or community. It is usually  synonymous with the term “family name”, however, it is possible for the two to be different.

Where the surname is located differs from culture to culture. There are even some cultures that do not make  use of surnames.

In many places, including English-speaking cultures, names are written as follows: [first name/given name]  + [surname/family name]. In these cases, surnames are also last names.

Below, in bold, are examples of surnames that are also last names:

• John Doe

• John F. Kennedy

• Clark Joseph Kent

• Juan de la Cruz

• Linda Flynn-Fletcher

There are also many places in which surnames are not written after the first name. They are written as  follows: [surname/family name] + [given name].

Below, in bold, are examples of surnames that are not last names:

• Kim Yuna

• Hua Mulan

• Lim Eunsoo

Last Name

The term “last name” refers to the name that is written at the end of one’s name. 

The “last name” is what identifies an individual as a member of a family, tribe, or community in places  where names are written as follows: [first name/given name] + [last name]. In the English-speaking world,  the term “last name” is synonymous with the terms “surname” and “family name”.

Below, in bold, are examples of what a “last name” is:

• Joe Bloggs

• Harry James Potter

• Lily Evans

• Bruce Wayne

• Anthony Stark 

Family Name

The term “family name” refers to the name that identifies a person as a member of a particular  family. 

The “family name” is what identifies a person as a member of a particular family. It can be interchangeable  with the terms “surname” and “last name”, but only to the extent that these identify a person as a member of  a family.

Examples of what a “family name” is can be seen below, in bold:

• Gomez Addams 

• Morticia Addams 

• Wednesday Addams 

• Pugsley Addams 

Here, it can be assumed that all of these people are members of the Addams family.
