Definition for surname entries.

Parameters

|1= (required)

Language code; see Wiktionary:List of languages. The parameter |lang= is a deprecated synonym; please do not use. If this is used, all numbered parameters move down by one.

|2=

Adjective or qualifier.

|from=

(usually language name not code) derived from

|A=

replacement for "A" (see below)

|eq=

equivalent surname in English, for use in foreign-language entries

|g=

gender of the surname (only used for certain languages like Icelandic or Greek)

|m=

masculine equivalent of this surname (for gendered surnames)

|f=

feminine equivalent of this surname (for gendered surnames)

Examples

{{surname|en}}.

1. A surname from ප්‍රංශ.

(and categorizes in Category:English surnames)

{{surname|en|from=patronymics}}.

1. A surname originating as a patronymic.

(and categorizes in Category:English surnames and Category:English surnames from patronymics)

but note:

{{surname|en|[[English]]}}.

1. An English surname from ප්‍රංශ.

where the module is smart enough to replace "A" with "An". You can override this using |A=.

Trailing punctuation is no longer generated automatically, so there is no need to suppress it using nodot=1:

{{surname|en|from=Latin}} a form of [[Silvanus]].

1. A surname from ලතින්, a form of Silvanus.

|1= and |from= are combined into a subcategory. Something such as:

{{surname|fi}}

is filed in a Category:Finnish surnames, but:

{{surname|fi|from=Finnish}}

is filed in a Category:Finnish surnames from Finnish. Unlike |1=, |from= is not a code but a full language name.
