The history and culture of middle names

Middle names are a relatively modern convention. In medieval Europe, most people had only one name. The practice expanded in the 16th century among Spanish and Portuguese nobility and spread through Germany, where the "Mittelname" became common in the 18th century. In the United States, middle names became near-universal by the 19th century, often used to preserve a mother's maiden surname or honor a godparent. Today, about 80% of Americans have a middle name. Middle names rarely appear in daily life β€” they show up on official documents, are invoked when a parent is very serious ("James Oliver Smith, come here!"), and appear on graduation diplomas. Despite rare use, middle names carry significant meaning as a vehicle for family history and cultural connection.
