Template:Meitei name
This template may be placed at the top of a biographical article of someone with a Meitei name to identify paternal surnames which make up the family name, given name as well as any name suffix like generational title or others.
Usage[edit]
- Invocation
{{Meitei name|PATERNAL|SUFFIX}}
{{Meitei name|1=PATERNAL|2=SUFFIX}}
{{Meitei name|first=PATERNAL|suffix=SUFFIX}}
- Parameters
- "1" or "first" – the family name (optional, but usually present)
- "2" or "second" – the given name
- "3" or "suffix" – the generational suffix
Note: Each parameter is optional, but a maintenance category will be added to articles that use this template without any parameters.
Examples[edit]
- For Saikhom Mirabai Chanu:
{{Meitei name|Saikhom|Mirabai|Chanu}}or{{Meitei name|first=Saikhom|second=Mirabai|third=Chanu}}→
- For Nongthombam Biren Singh:
{{Meitei name|first=Nongthombam|second=Biren|suffix=Singh}}→
Usage note: In Meitei names, Singh or Meitei or Meetei, if it appears, is usually a name suffix (like generational suffix), and is not a family name, so it should be placed in the optional |suffix= parameter.
