The name of a person is a central concept in genealogy. In Gramps, you can enter name information in the '''Person Edit Dialog''' and from the {{man label|Names}} tab or the {{man button|Edit}} icon at the top of this dialog, you can jump to open the '''Name Edit Dialog'''.

In the [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#People_Category|People category]] view, people are sorted based on this family name. In the case of cultures which do not use family names, one can [[Grouping_Surnames|use the grouping feature]] in the Name editor to design a name under which to group people from the same family.

{{man note|The accuracy of this section is contested --[[User:Duncan|DuncanNZ]] 09:49, 26 August 2008 (EDT)|We need to look in the email archive for a proper definition by the people who requested this feature. * Possibly?

The ''Call name'' feature is inspired by the German word ''Rufname'' -- a compound of the words "anruf name" which literally translates to "Call name." And there is a similar Swedish structured concept known as ''tilltalsnamn'' -- a compound form of "tilltals namn" translating to "heard name." However, Gramps originated as an English product where there is no directly comparable analogue to this "Call Name." That makes the "Call Name" both a source of confusion to that community and harder to describe in English.
