 As neither noble titles nor names are necessarily unique, it is customary to list the highest title and awarded named first, followed by former names and titles (and personal and family names in parentheses) as needed.Descendants of the nobility, both hereditary and non-hereditary positions, generally take the noble name of their ancestor for a surname.For instance, Hugo Chakrabongse is a descendant of Prince Chakrabongse Bhuvanath.
