@russell @hongminhee There's no standard because different cultures do this differently. First+last names in their current Western form are a recent invention, going back a few hundred years max, introduced by early modern bureaucracies. Where dual names were/are used elsewhere, they follow different, varying cultural conventions.
It's not entirely far-fetched to say first name/last name is a vestige of European colonialism.
