Married and maiden names Frederic P Miller

Publisher Marketing: High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A married name is the family name adopted by a person upon marriage, and in speaking of the many cultures where the practice is traditional for women, the maiden name is the family name that the married name replaces. The term "maiden name" is only rarely applied in the traditionally rarer changes of family name by men, or by either sex other than in connection with marriage. Nevertheless, the French and English-adopted term "ne "(pronounced English pronunciation: / ne / ("nay") in English, [ ne] in French), meaning "born," can be applied to a woman's family-name at birth that has been replaced for any reason. The French masculine inflection corresponding to ne is "n "; while less readily recognized by non-French-speakers, it is likewise applied to family names changed for any reason. (The diacritics are sometimes omitted. The term "birth name" is sometimes used specifically as a gender-neutral (or male only) substitute for "maiden name," but it is also applied to mean the family name of the mother of a child adopted at birth, and is thus likely to be used with more flexibility than the loan-words ne and n, accepting it even when the name being referred to was acquired by adoption (at or long after birth), or made in connection with a change of nationality, or changed in any of the variety of other, rarer circumstances.
