This report provides a description of the structure of Afghan names. Person names in Afghanistan often consist of a compound first name. Most people lack a last name and are generally referred to by their tribal affiliation, place of birth, profession, or honorific titles. However, last names are more prevalent in urban and more educated families. The report discusses the various components of person names such as titles, honorifics, the internal structure of the name, and various forms of address. It also describes some of the issues that arise in the transcription of Afghan names into English due to a lack of standardization and dialectal differences in the pronunciation.
