| has gloss | (noun) a name between your first name and your surname middle name |
| has gloss | eng: Peoples names in several countries include one or more middle names, placed between the first given name and the surname. In most such countries, except Northern America, this notion of middle name does not exist, and those names are considered as a second, third, etc. given name. In the USA and Canada there is usually only one middle name, often abbreviated by its possessor to the middle initial (e.g. James Robert Smith becomes James R. Smith, which is usually standard for signatures) or omitted entirely in everyday use (e.g. just James Smith). In other English speaking countries people will have more than one given name, although they are usually known by one only. In some other countries, the term middle name is only used for names that are originally last names, but not part of the last name of the bearer (for instance one can have ones mother's maiden name as a middle name). |

| has gloss | cat: El nom del mig (o segon prenom) és típic als Estats Units, on se lanomena "middle name". Però també es pot considerar nom del mig el segon prenom dels eslaus i dels brasilers. És un nom que va entre el prenom i el cognom i sutilitza només en situacions formals, de manera semblant a com fem nosaltres amb el segon cognom; a vegades en situacions col·loquials se substitueix per la lletra inicial. |
