Unlike the practice in Western countries , and other countries with predominant European influence , there is no one way of writing a full name in Pakistan. The most popular convention is to append the most called ذاتی نام of the father to the person’s ذاتی نام ۔ Often , if the person has more than one ذاتی نام ، his full name consists only of his ذاتی نام ۔ Another convention is to prefix the person’s ذاتی نام with a title , which is usually associated with his tribal ancestry. Due to western influence , appending rather than prefixing titles to ذاتی نام is becoming more عمومی ۔ One notable exception is the title " Khan " ، عمومی in people of پشتون origin , which has always been appended rather than prefixed to ذاتی نام ۔ There are several titles used in Pakistan and other Muslim countries. " سید " ، " شیخ " ، " Khawaja " ، " پاشا " ، " میرزا " etc. are عمومی ۔ Less عمومیly , the tribal name itself is appended to the person’s ذاتی نام ۔ For feمردانہs , tribal names or titles rarely figure in the person’s full name ( although this is becoming more عمومی due to Western influence ) ۔ Instead her full name would be composed of her ذاتی نام only , or if given only one name , her ذاتی نام appended with her father’s most called name. After marriage , the full name would be her most called name appended with her husband’s most called name. In official documents , a person’s identity is established by listing both the person’s full name ( however they may write it ) ، and their father’s. For married women , the husband 's name might be used instead of the father 's. Official forms always contain fields for both names , and they are used together as A son/daughter/wife of B on ID cards , passports , diplomas , in court , etc. The problem with these naming conventions is that it is difficult to trace back family roots. Many Muslims have settled in Western world and this naming convention creates some problems as a father will have a different " خاندانی نام " or " family name " from his children.
