Person name is a standard XDM data type that describes the full name of a person. As conventions for name structures differ widely across languages and cultures, names should always be modeled using this datatype.

In addition, the data type provides a number of optional properties that can be used in situations that require using only a fragment of the full name, such as creating a formal or informal greeting.
