This template may be placed at the top of a biographical article of someone with a Portuguese name to identify maternal and/or paternal surnames which make up the family name, as well as any generational title like "Filho".

Usage

edit
Invocation

{{Portuguese name|MATERNAL|PATERNAL|SUFFIX}}
{{Portuguese name|1=MATERNAL|2=PATERNAL|3=SUFFIX}}
{{Portuguese name|first=MATERNAL|second=PATERNAL|suffix=SUFFIX}}

Parameters
  • "1" or "first" – the first or maternal family name (optional, but usually present)
  • "2" or "second" – the second or paternal family name (optional, but usually present)
  • "3" or "suffix" – the generational suffix, if any (e.g., Filho, Júnior, Neto, Sobrinho, Segundo, Terceiro) (optional)

Note: Each parameter is optional, but a maintenance category will be added to articles that use this template without any parameters.

Examples

edit


Usage note: In Portuguese names, Filho, if it appears, is usually a generational suffix meaning "Junior", and is not a family name, so it should be placed in the optional |suffix= parameter. Rarely, Filho is the family name; in this case, it would be in the |first= or |second= parameter, and the |suffix= parameter should be omitted. The same applies to Neto or Sobrinho which can be either a suffix (usually) or a family name (rarely). If you are not sure if something is a generational suffix or not, do not use the |suffix= parameter.
