{{see also|Personal name#Name order}}
The order ''given name – family name'', commonly known as ''Western name order'', is used throughout most [[Europe]]an countries and in countries that have cultures predominantly influenced by European culture, including [[North America|North]] and [[South America]]; [[North India|North]], [[East India|East]], [[Central India|Central]] and [[Western India|West India]]; [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]], and the [[Philippines]].

The order ''family name – given name'', commonly known as ''Eastern name order'', is primarily used in [[East Asia]] (for example in [[China]], [[Japan]], [[Korea]], [[Taiwan]], [[Singapore]], and [[Vietnam]], among others, and by [[Malaysian Chinese]]), as well as in [[South India|Southern]] and [[Northeast India|North-Eastern]] parts of [[India]], and as a standard in [[Hungary]]. This order is also used to various degrees and in specific contexts in other European countries, such as [[Austria]] and adjacent areas of [[Germany]] (that is, [[Bavaria]]<!-- Bavaria is a county/state of Germany, not a country -->),{{NoteTag|However, the ''family name – given name'' order is used only in informal or traditional contexts. The official naming order in [[Austria]] and [[Bavaria]] is ''given name – family name''.}} and in [[France]], [[Switzerland]], [[Belgium]], [[Greece]] and [[Italy]]{{citation needed|date=December 2019}}, possibly because of the influence of bureaucracy, which commonly puts the family name before the given name. In China and Korea, [[generation name|part of the given name]] may be shared among all members of a given generation within a family and extended family or families, in order to differentiate those generations from other generations.

The order ''given name – father's family name – mother's family name'' is commonly used in several [[Spanish language|Spanish]]-speaking countries to acknowledge the families of both parents.

The order ''given name – mother's family name – father's family name'' is commonly used in [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]-speaking countries to acknowledge the families of both parents. Today, people in Spain and Uruguay can rearrange the order of their names legally to this order.

The order ''given name – father's given name – grandfather's given name'' (often referred to as ''triple name'') is the official naming order used in [[Arabic]] countries (for example [[Saudi Arabia]], [[Iraq]] and [[United Arab Emirates]]).
