Level Code Display Name Description
0 LS Legal status For organizations a suffix indicating the legal status, e.g., "Inc.", "Co.", "AG", "GmbH", "B.V." "S.A.", "Ltd." Etc.
0 AC Academic Indicates that a prefix like "Dr." or a suffix like "M.D." or "Ph.D." is an academic title
0 NB Nobility In Europe and Asia, there are still people with nobility titles (aristocrats). German "von" is generally a nobility title, not a mere voorvoegsel. Others are "Earl of" or "His Majesty King of..." etc. Rarely used nowadays, but some systems do keep track of this
0 PR Professional Primarily in the British Imperial culture people tend to have an abbreviation of their professional organization as part of their credential suffices
0 VV Voorvoegsel A Dutch "voorvoegsel" is something like "van" or "de" that might have indicated nobility in the past but no longer so. Similar prefixes exist in other languages such as Spanish, French or Portugese, etc
0 AD Adopted The name the person was given at the time of adoption
0 BR Birth A name that a person had shortly after being born. Usually for family names but may be used to mark given names at birth that may have changed later
0 SP Spouse The name assumed from the partner in a marital relationship. Usually the spouse’s family name. Note that no inference about gender can be made from the existence of spouse names
0 CL Call me A “call me” name is usually a given name that is preferred when a person is directly addressed. Sometimes known as a nickname
0 IN Initial Indicates that a name part is just an initial. Initials do not imply a trailing period since this would not work with non-Latin scripts. Initials may consist of more than one letter, e.g., "Ph." could stand for "Philippe" or "Th." for "Thomas"
0 TITLE Title Indicates that a prefix or a suffix is a title that applies to the whole name, not just the adjacent name part
