This template may be placed at the top of a biographical article of someone with a [[Meitei language|Meitei]] name to identify paternal surnames which make up the family name, given name as well as any [[name suffix]] like [[generational title]] or others.

== Usage ==

;Invocation

{{tlc|Meitei name{{!}}''PATERNAL''{{!}}''SUFFIX''}}<br/>
{{tlc|Meitei name|1{{=}}''PATERNAL''{{!}}2{{=}}''SUFFIX''}}<br/>
{{tlc|Meitei name|first{{=}}''PATERNAL''{{!}}suffix{{=}}''SUFFIX''}}

;Parameters

* "1" or "first"{{snd}}the [[Surname|family name]] (optional, but usually present)
* "2" or "second"{{snd}}the given name
* "3" or "suffix"{{snd}}the [[Suffix (name)#Generational titles|generational suffix]]

Note: Each parameter is optional, but a maintenance category will be added to articles that use this template without any parameters.

== Examples ==

* For [[Saikhom Mirabai Chanu]]: {{tlx|Meitei name|Saikhom|Mirabai|Chanu}} or {{tlx|Meitei name|<nowiki>first=Saikhom|second=Mirabai|third=Chanu</nowiki>}} →
{{Meitei name|Saikhom|Mirabai|Chanu}}
* For [[Nongthombam Biren Singh]]: {{tlx|Meitei name|<nowiki>first=Nongthombam|second=Biren|suffix=Singh</nowiki>}} → {{Meitei name|first=Nongthombam|second=Biren|suffix=Singh}}

'''''Usage note:''''' In Meitei names, '''Singh''' or '''Meitei''' or '''Meetei''', if it appears, is usually a [[name suffix]] (like [[generational suffix]]), and is not a family name, so it should be placed in the optional {{para|suffix}} parameter.
