===Family Name===
The family name is the part of the name which, according to law or custom, is passed from parents to child. Gramps defaults to the [[Gramps_Glossary#patronymic|patronymic]] option, labeled ''Father's surname'', in the {{man label|[[Gramps_{{Version manualman version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display|Display]]}} tab of the {{man menu|[[Gramps_{{Version manualman version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Preferences|Preferences]]}} for {{man label|Surname guessing}}.
In the [[Gramps_{{Version manualman version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#People_Category|People category]] view, people are sorted based on this family name. In the case of cultures which do not use family names, one can [[Grouping_Surnames|use the grouping feature]] in the Name editor to design a name under which to group people from the same family.
===Prefix===
