Remarks
The Name value is formed in the manner the name is normally spoken, with the given name and family name(surname) separated by slashes(/). Based on the dynamic nature or unknown compositions of naming conventions, it is difficult to provide more detailed name piece structure to handle every case.

The NamePrefix, GivenName, Nickname, SurnamePrefix, Surname, and NameSuffix are not optional. Usage of the GEDCOM records for name parts is mandatory (for every name part that has a value).

Systems that still do not produce these name part records on export cannot use GEDCOM 5.5.5, but must stick to using GEDCOM 5.5.1 or earlier. A GEDCOM 5.5.5 reader expects these name parts, and uses these to correctly split names into their parts.

A GEDCOM 5.5.5 reader must split a name as specified by the GEDCOM file, must not split a name any other way. A GEDCOM 5.5.5 reader must check that each PersonalNamePieces is selfconsistent, and must report a fatal error and abort import when it is not.

A Type is used to specify the particular variation that this name is. For example; The name Type could indicate that this name is a name taken at immigration.
