<name> Name of Person

Container element for the component elements of personal names, such as a <surname>.

Usage/Remarks

Best Practice

If the name parts are unknown or untagged, the whole name can be placed:
  • Within the <string-name> element in contexts where <string-name> is allowed, for example, <string-name>Ice Cube</string-name>; or
  • Within the element <surname> in contexts where only <name> is allowed, for example, <surname>Ice Cube</surname>.
Use of a <string-name> or <surname> element is more likely to lead to better search results than merely leaving the person’s name untagged. (See <string-name> for additional detail.)
