[S.T.D.]

A name is like a (unix or windows) file name with a path attached (e.g. C:\Users\moorthy\Downloads )

In olden names among many cultures, a person is identified with which village he is from, who is his/her father and whether he/she is the eldest or the second eldest son (or daughter) - the other children do not matter any way . The life span (in olden days) was more limited. So once a name is given his/her whole history is given. That was the rationale behind. Please look at Icelandic names Icelandic name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In this Indonesian name, the name "Sukarnoputri" is a patronymic, not a family name, and the person should be referred to by the given name "Megawati". ( from Megawati Sukarnoputri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
