How to use Person Name Splitter and Normalizer
- Paste one name per line and choose the split rule.
- Choose whether to preserve capitalization or apply the stated normalization.
- Review original, given and family values before exporting the CSV.
Example: Person Name Splitter and Normalizer
Apply an explicit first-token rule.
Options
- Split rule
- First-token given name, last-token family name and comma-family order are explicit text rules. Pick the convention used by the source list; the tool does not infer a culture-specific name structure.
- Capitalization
- Preserve keeps entered case. Simple title casing lowercases then capitalizes token starts and can change intentional spelling; review names individually.

A text split is not an identity model
Compound family names, mononyms, prefixes and suffixes can make a token rule unsuitable. Original names remain in the report so you can compare the split and correct exceptions. Do not use the heuristic result as a verified legal-name record.
Questions about Person Name Splitter and Normalizer
Can the tool know which part is my family name?
No. You choose a rule for the supplied list, then review the result with the original name beside it.
What happens to a multiword family name?
With first-token splitting, the whole remainder stays in the family field. Other rules divide at different explicit boundaries.
Should I title-case every name?
Only after reviewing the result. Preferred capitalization and particles do not follow one universal rule.
