→Names in a Name Type
==Names in a Name Type==
Within a name type, you have several fields to identify uniquely the name. The values in these various fields can be searched (individually or in combination) with the '''[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters#People_with_the_.3Cname.3E|People with the <name>]]''' rule in a [[Gramps_Glossary#filter|Custom Filter]].
===Family Name===
===Origin Attributes===
An optional attribute (characteristic) identifying how a name was culturally derived for a Person. The most commonly used Origin should be considered when making a
'''Surname Guessing''' choice in the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display|Display tab of Preferences]].
Custom Origins may be typed in at any time. Pre-defined items of the origin selection menu include:
| <!-- Surname --> Familiennamen
| <!-- Suffix --> Suffix
| <!-- Family nick name --> Family nick nameFamilienspitzname
