Hello, Mittal! Nice to meet you. However, this talk page is to discuss about the article, not about the topic of the article. WPEditor42 (talk • contribs) 09:57, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In earlier times, Scandinavian countries followed patronymic naming, with people effectively called "X's son/daughter" .... When people of this name convert to standards of other cultures, the phrase is often condensed into one word, creating last names like Jacobsen (Jacob's Son).

Is there any Scandinavian culture where this name is (or was) written as two words?? —Tamfang (talk) 05:42, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wanna know why Hungarian (European) surnames use Eastern naming conventions similar to Japan,and the Philippines (Asian) using Western naming conventions much like from Europe or perhaps, the USA 119.95.114.132 (talk) 07:53, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
