Class ISN_NSPersonNameComponents

An NSPersonNameComponents object encapsulates the components of a person's name in an extendable, object-oriented manner. It is used to specify a person's name by providing the components comprising a full name: given name, middle name, family name, prefix, suffix, nickname, and phonetic representation.

It is important to understand that names are disjoint from a person’s identity. An individual may, at any time, have zero, one, or many names. Names cannot be used as a determination of a person’s identity, because two names may correspond to the same individual, and two people may have the same name. Nor can names be used as a determination of a person’s relation to others, because an individual may have a different family name than their relatives, and two individuals may have the same family name, but not be related.

Many locales and cultures have rules about what kinds of names are allowed and how they are structured. An ISN_NSPersonNameComponents object does not impose any restrictions about which combinations of properties may have values or what those values may be.
