Russians and Americans both have their first name first and their surname last.

Russia: The complete name structure in East Slavic languages ??is "personal name + patronymic + surname". Take Yuri Gagarin as an example, his full name is Yuri Alexeevich Gagarin (Ю?рий Алексе?евич Гага?рин), where:

"Yu "ri" (Ю?рий) is a personal name, that is, his own name;

"Alexievich" (Алексе?евич) is a patronymic name, derived from his father's name "Alek "Xie" (Алексе?й) is derived from the suffix;

"Gagarin" (Гага?рин) is a surname.

East Slavic names also have changes in gender and character.

United States: The ethnic composition of the United States is complex, including some ethnic groups whose native names have the surname first and the given name last. However, because the culture of the United States mainly comes from Europe, the official language is English, and European descendants account for the majority, the name structure of Americans also has the first name first and the last name last. Even Americans whose native language does not use this order will adjust the order to the English habitual writing: for example, a Japanese-American named "Matsui Taro" will write his name as Taro Matsui instead of writing it in Japanese order as Matsui Tarō; Or give an English name and add the original surname (or its Latinization) at the end, such as the Chinese name "Bruce Lee" and the English name Bruce Lee. In addition, some people also have a "middle name", such as Walker in George Walker Bush; or they have several surnames. For example, if a Latina uses a Spanish structure, the complete name contains both the father's surname and the mother's surname.

In fact, in most European and American countries, the given name comes first and the surname comes last. There are only a few exceptions for names in a few languages, such as Hungarian, Alemannic, etc.
