Names of Persons
Introduction:
According to the International Cataloguing Principles (ICP)1 the Form of Name for Persons as an authorized access point should be constructed following a standard: "When the name of a person consists of several words, the choice of first word for the authorized access point should follow conventions of the country and language most associated with that person, as found in manifestations or reference sources". Thus, this set of documents summarizes the conventions for each country, established by each national cataloguing agency, to help other cataloguing agencies creating authority data worldwide.

2. Saami (Lappish)
Note: Saami (in a number of dialects) is spoken in Finland, Norway, Sweden and Russia. In Scandinavia there exists a Saami cultural community which, among other things, means that a Saami author may publish books in any of the three countries. The author's name may then be handled according to the bibliographical rules of his or her own country (slightly differing from each other, mainly in respect to the handling of double surnames and patronymics).
Three main Saami dialects with different orthographies are used in Sweden. Often the same person uses two versions of the name, one Swedish-adapted as an official form for use in contact with Swedish-speaking society and authorities, and the other in Saami for the Saami-speaking society.
The Saami name often consists of one or more patronymics followed by a forename (with the surname excluded). When a person uses the Saami name as an author this is chosen for the main entry in catalogues and bibliographies (but the other version containing the surname is much more frequent).

Since 2000 there are five official minority languages in Sweden, Finnish, Sami, Meänkieli (a form of Finnish spoken in the north of Sweden), Romani and Jiddisch. The establishment of personal names in Finnish, Meänkieli, Romani and Jiddisch follows the same rules as for other Swedish names.
Checked and approved by the Name authority group (Eva Abrahamsson, Anna Björnberg, Carina Bäck Ekberg, Viktoria Lundborg and Grazyna Sowinska) at the National Library of Sweden (Kungliga biblioteket), February 2016.
