Output Tokens Name 1
Name 2
Example 1 Input Output Token Output

Remarks Czech family names use feminine, masculine, and plural variations. Because of this, strings containing multiple names should be standardized with the standardization definition for Name (Multiple Name) before being processed with the parse definition for Name (Multiple Name). Without standardization, the results of the parse might show incorrect family name variations for individual names (see Example 2). If only one name is present in the input, the first token is used.
