 But there are parts of Europe that also follow the Eastern Order, such as Hungary, Bavaria, Austria, Albania, Kosovo, and Romania.Since family names are normally written last in European societies, the terms last name or surname are commonly used for the family name, while in Japan (with vertical writing) the family name may be referred to as upper name ().When people from areas using Eastern naming order write their personal name in the Latin alphabet, it is common to reverse the order of the given and family names for the convenience of Westerners, so that they know which name is the family name for official/formal purposes.
