::Select Edit from the context menu that appears upon right-click on the name.
*From the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Using_the_Relationships_Category|Relationships Category]]: To edit the Active Person's data, click on the {{man button|Edit }} button next to the Active Person's name.
*From the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Using_the_Charts_Category|Charts Category]]: Double-click in the box having the name of the person whose data you want to edit.
The top of the window has two parts: The basic information about the {{man label|Preferred name}} of the person, and a section {{man label|General}} with the privacy button (to set the record as private), the gender selector, an ID you can give this record, and a marker you can assign to the person indicating the state of the record (complete, TODO, uncertain, ....) which will give this record a specific color in the person view.

By using the context menu(right clicking) from a blank area in the top section of the window eg:near the "Preferred Name" field, you will be present with a context menu for three options:
* {{man label|[[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Setting_the_Active_Person|Make Active Person]]}} -
[[File:EditPerson-top-sections-highlighted-example-50.png|right|thumb|400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} "Preferred name" section (Highlighted in yellow) of "Edit Person" - dialog - example]]
The preferred or default name is the name that will be used in Gramps for the '[[Names_in_Gramps|name]]' of the person. You can set in the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display|Gramps Preferences]] how a name is displayed, and in most places generally you will see only the need to put data in fields shown in the preferred namesection.  Only detailed reports (textual and Narrative Web site generator) show also the alternate names. Note however that searching on a name will search in all names attached to a person, not only the preferred name.
The preferred name section contains the typical name information you will edit on upon creation of a person. Not all possible name information is shown hereTo reduce clutter, only the most used less frequently needed fields(for [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Multiple_Surnames|Multiple Surnames]] and [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Names|Alternate Names]]) are hidden by default. To expand the section for Multiple Surnames, click the {{icon|Stock_add}} {{man button|Add}} button or use its [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings#Editor_bindings|keybinding]]. To see the full range of data you can store about a name, click the edit {{icon|Stock_edit}} {{man button|Edit}} button after in the lower right corner the {{man label|Preferred name}} labelsection or use its [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings#Editor_bindings|keybinding]]. This will show the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_3#Name_Editor|Name Editor]].
The name fields of the preferred name in the {{man label|Person Editor}} are:
*{{man label|Type}} of the name (. Predefined types include: Also Known As, '''Birth Name''' ''(default)'', Married Name, Unknown). You can also type over in this entry field to enter create your own [[Gramps_Glossary#custom|Custom Types ]] (eg nick name, short name, etc.). :It is advised to use for advisable that the preferred name be a registered birth name or other name with legal tender as standing. Those are names that is what will be found most often is found on citable documents, and . You may choose to store other name types in the {{man label|Name}} tab of the {{man label|Person Editor}}.
*{{man label|Given name}}, the person's given name(s)
*{{man label|Suffix}}, an optional suffix to the name, such as ''Jr.'' or ''III''
*{{man label|Surname}}, the part of a person's name indicating the family to which the person belongs.
** Selecting the {{man button|+ Use Multiple Surnames}} add {{icon|Stock_add}} {{man button|Add}} button, will show the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Multiple_Surnames|Multiple Surnames]]}} section entry box, allowing you to enter compound surnames (for example for patronimicspatronymics, or compound matrilineal-patrilinial names)
*{{man label|Surname prefix}}, an optional prefix for the family name that is not used in sorting, such as ''de'' or ''van''
*{{man label|Origin}}, the [[Gramps_Glossary#name_origin|origin ]] type of the nameidentifies the cultural naming system that specifies how a particular surname was elected. This is meta information about the surname which can be important in genealogical research.*{{man label|Title}}, which is a title (typically in abbreviated form) used to refer to the person such as ''Dr.'' or ''Rev.'', selector,
*{{man label|Nick Name}}, is a descriptive name given in place of or in addition to the official given name. If a Nick name is a full name construct, use a specific name type ''Also known as'' instead of the Nick field.
*{{man label|Call name}}, officially this is the part of the given name that is the normally used name. Eg, a person can have 3 given names as in ''Jean Baptiste Jules'', where in reality only ''Baptiste'' is used. In Germany and some other places, it was customary to underline the callname among the different given names, see also [[Names_in_Gramps#Call_Name|here]]. Some people will try to use this field also for nickname, or changes to the Given name (like Cristy for Cristina), but this is not the intended use. A call name is a proper legal name. For nick names, or short name variants, you should create an alternative name with a different type.
On the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_3#Name_Editor|Name Editor]] an extra field is available: {{man label|Family Nickname}}. This is a non official unofficial name given to a family splinter group to distinguish them of from people with the same family namesurname. Often referred to as eg. Farm nameand typically references a location where the splinter group resides or originates. (aka sept, sect, camp)
The {{man label|Origin}} and {{man label|Type}} fields provide an "autocompletion" feature: as you type in these fields, a menu appears below the field containing database entries that match your partial input. This gives you a shortcut by letting you select an entry that already exists in the database rather than having to type it all out. You can select the entry using your mouse or using your arrow and '''Enter''' keys.

When Edit Persons the add {{man button|+ {{icon|stock_add}}}} (Use Multiple Surnames}} add ) button has been pressedat the far right of the {{man label|Surname:}} row in the {{man label|Edit Person}} window, a new {{man label|Multiple Surnames}} section entry box will be shown, allowing compound surnames to be entered. Alternately, the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings#Editor_bindings|Add button's Editor keybinding]] can be used.  The height of the multiple surname box can be customized in the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display|{{man label|Display}} tab]] of the {{Man menu|Edit ➡ Preferences...}} dialog.
The [https://gramps-project.org/blog/2010/11/final-multiple-surnames/ Multiple Surnames feature ] might be used for patronymics or compound matrilineal-patrilinial names. Another variation would be a Scandinavian name like ‘Syver Ericksen Skotterud’ where the full name is composed of a forename (Syver), a reference to his father (Ericksen or son of Erick) together with a village or locality name. In such a case, you can add 'Ericksen' with an [[Names_in_Gramps#Origin_Attributes|Origin ]] of "Patronymic" and expand to a Multiple Surnames by adding 'Skotterud' with an Origin of "Location".
If you do not add any information in this section then, on the next open of the Edit Person dialog, it will be hidden. Any empty rows will not be saved.

:The {{man label|Names}} tab lets you view and edit any alternate alternative names the person may have. The name shown in the top of the Edit Person dialog is the {{man label|Preferred name}} and is usually (but not necessarily) the Birth Name. {{man label|Alternative names}} might be other [[Names_in_Gramps#Name_Types|Name Types]] for aliases ('Also Known As' name type) for adopted names, pennames, stagenames or legal name changes. (Because it is so common, there is a separate alias Name type for "Married Name".) If alternative names exist, date ranges can be set for each. So a "Birth Name" may use one range (before the date of adoption) and a "Also known as" will have another range (after the date of adoption). Alternative names can also be spelling variants, including anglicized versions of the birth name and common misspellings. :The bottom part of the window lists all alternate names for the person stored in the database. The top part shows the details of the currently selected name in the list (if any). The buttons {{man button|+{{icon|stock_add}}}} (add), {{man button|Edit{{icon|stock_edit}}}} (edit), and {{man button|-{{icon|stock_remove}}}} (remove) allow the addition, modification, and removal of an alternate name from the database. Double-clicking a row is the same as selecting and clicking the {{man button|{{icon|stock_edit}}}} (edit) button. Note that the Edit {{icon|stock_edit}} and - {{icon|stock_remove}} buttons become available only when an alternate name is selected from the list. :Any row in the Alternative names may be set to the Preferred name from the context menu. Right-click the Alternative name and choose the {{man label|Set as default name}} menu choice. That Alternative names row will be swapped into the Preferred name section and the previous Preferred name will be demoted to the bottom of the Alternative names list.

The {{man label|Associations}} tab lets you view and edit relationship role information about the associations between people two persons explicitly associated in the database.  The associations may include tend to be roles that cannot be inferred from being connected in normal (or blended) family structure or through shared event roles. For instance, cousin or sibling relationships are apparent through how marriages connect the people. Relationships such as Godparents(a participant in a Christening), an organ donor (participant in a medical procedure), pall bearer (participant in a Burial), and Guardian (participant in a Probate or mentioned in a will) may be Roles created by sharing an event created for the Primary role person.  So Association roles are less obvious. They might be family friends, pall beareran eponym (the person honored by a namesake), a coworker, a penpal, or any other type of associations you may wish to record. If the closest relation is 'Godparent', then this would indicate that the Godparent of the person (being edited) is the person whose name is shown in the Associations tab.
The [http://wiki-en.genealogy.net/GEDCOM/ASSO-Tag ''Associates'' (ASSO) tag in the GEDCOM standard] says that "a person's relation or association is the person being pointed to." You might choose to put a reciprocal Association in that other person's Associations tab.
In the association shown from [[Example.gramps|example.gramps]], Lewis Garner's Godfather is Anderson Garner. Use Events instead for relations connected to specific time frames or occasions. Events can be shared between people, each indicating their [[Gramps_Glossary#role|role]] in the event.
 
The button {{man button|+ Create and add a new association}} opens the {{man label|[[#Person_Reference_Editor|Person Reference Editor]]}} dialog to add. The {{man button|Edit the selected association}} button allows you to edit and the {{man button|- Remove the existing association}} removes the selected association. The other buttons {{man button|^ Move the selected association upwards}} or {{man button|^ Move the selected association downwards}} move the selected entry position in the list only.

{{-}}
*Regular: A "regular" date is one which includes an interval spanning a specific day, month, or year. It can be complete (or 'fully qualified' for a 24 hour interval like June 6, 1990) or partial (like omitting the day for a 1 month interval like July 1977 or omitting the day and month for a 1 year interval).
*Before: A "before" (date is one that can only be identified as occurring (in a [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Dates|preferences-defined long interval]]) prior to a certain day, month, or year.''(By default, the interval is 50 years.)''
*After: An "after" date is one that occurs (in a [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Dates|2nd preferences-defined long interval]]) following a certain day, month, or year. ''(By default, the interval is 50 years.)''
*About: An "about" (circa) date is one that occurs (in [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Dates|yet another preferences-defined smaller ±years interval]]) before '''or''' after a certain day, month, or year. ''(By default, the interval is ±50 years.)''
*Range: A "range" describes a time period during in which the event occurred. It could be recurrent event during the interval or a single instance believed to have occurred between known boundary dates.
Besides exact dates, Gramps recognizes many date types that are not regular: before, after, about, ranges and spans. It also understands the quality: estimated or calculated. Finally, it supports partial dates and many alternative calendars. Below is the list of date entry rules to allow precise date parsing.
{{man note|1=Date parsing rules |2=The list only applies to the English version of Gramps. If you are using localized version of Gramps, your version may or may not provide a localized date parser. A list of the 28 (as of this writing in 2015) available localized parsers can be found on the [[Handler List]] some existing Date Handlers are available for French, German, Russian, Finnish, Dutch, Spanish, Slovak and Swedish languages.<br>If the localized parser is available for your version, chances are that other rules are in effect. If there is no manual in your language yet, you may try following your instincts and try the common ways of denoting dates in your language. If all else fails, use the {{man label|Date selection}} dialog described above. The date that the dialog generates will show how the localized parser expects the different Date Quality and Type values to be typed.}}
Regular single dates can be entered just as you would write them. And typing a slash after the year followed by a value 1 year later creates a Julian dual dated entry.
Sometimes, a dual date may appear as a fraction, as in this grave stone (170 and 3/4, which means 1703 and 1704):
[[Image:Gravestone.jpg|right|thumb|350px|Fig . {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Gravestone showing
