Vietnamese Names
How naming works in Vietnam — order, inheritance, particles, and the names Foundry's own data sees most often, backed by a live parser.
Naming conventions in Vietnam
Vietnamese is written in a Latin-based script (Chữ Quốc Ngữ) with tone diacritics.
Family name first, given name last
the reverse of Western order -- and it's the last element, the given name, that's actually used to address someone
Nguyễn Văn A (a placeholder name, like "John Doe")
A handful of dominant family names
Nguyễn alone accounts for roughly two in five Vietnamese people
Foundry's family-name-first handling applies here by default, the same as for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean names.
Analyze name from Vietnam
Split full names from Vietnam into given name, family name, titles, and particles — calibrated confidence instead of a single guess, powered by Foundry.
