Remarks This definition splits plural variations of Czech family names into individual feminine or masculine variations. It should be used to standardize strings containing multiple names before the Parse definition for Name (Multiple Name) is used to parse those strings. If the plural variation does not exist in the input string, the two names are simply separated, as shown in the final example.
