Late to the party, but Pakistani names do not always follow the GIVEN FAMILY format.
Plenty of Pakistanis have "prefix"-names arising from tribe/caste, eg. Syed, Chaudary. The prime minister in 2012-2013 Raja Pervaiz Ashraf has the prefix name Raja.
The prime minister from 2002-2004 Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali, has Mir as a prefix name. Moreover, both Khan and Jamali are tribe names.
Plenty follow the FAMILY GIVEN.
My name follows another common format. GIVEN FATHER'S-GIVEN. There is no family name.
- smusamashah 3y agoWas looking for this comment. This guide is too simplistic. It went in some detail on variation of Indian names and I was expecting the same for Pakistan. Mine was TITLE Muhammad NAME. Some in family also have TITLE at the end of name. First name, last name OR given name, family name on forms never make sense to me.
