Definition for surname entries.

ပရႃႇမီႇတႃႇ

|1= (required): Language code; see Wiktionary:List of languages. The parameter |lang= is a deprecated synonym; please do not use. If this is used, all numbered parameters move down by one.
|2=: Adjective or qualifier.
|g=: Comma-separated list of genders, for gendered surnames: m/male, f/female or c/common-gender/unisex.
|from=: One or more comma-separated sources of name: a language name (not a code), such as French or Gascon (etymology-only languages are recognized and allowed); a family name such as Germanic languages; place names or coinages; or a language code + term such as de:Ulrich, ru:А́ня or non:bjǫrn. You can specify glosses, transliterations, alternative forms, equivalent forms, etc. inline using a syntax like |from=non:bjǫrn<t:bear> to specify a gloss for an Old Norse term. You can also specify multiple languages or terms separated by < (which must have spaces around it) to indicate a chain of derivation. An example is |from=Latin < Ancient Greek < Biblical Hebrew to indicate a name derived from Latin, in turn from Ancient Greek, and in turn from Biblical Hebrew.
|varform=: One or more comma-separated variant forms of this name, when the lemma is the main form of the name. This is conceptually the opposite of |var=, |var2=, etc., which are used when the lemma itself is a variant form, to indicate the main form. You can specify transliterations, alternative forms, English equivalents and other modifiers inline, as described below.
|usage=: Parameter indicating the usage of this name, e.g. modern or African-American.
|meaning=, |meaning2=, |meaning3=, etc.: One or more meanings of the name.
|parent=: One or more comma-separated names, indicating the parent's name from which this patronymic or matronymic surname was derived. Displays as meaning “son of ...” if the surname's gender is male; or meaning “daughter of ...” if the surname's gender is female; otherwise meaning “son/daughter of ...”. You can specify specify transliterations, alternative forms and other modifiers inline. This is documented in more detail below.
|eq=: One or more comma-separated equivalent names in English or some other language, for use in foreign-language entries. To specify an equivalent name in a language other than English, precede the name with the language code of the language followed by a colon, e.g. |eq=de:Schulman,de:Schulmann or |eq=be:Самуцэ́віч. You can specify specify transliterations, alternative forms and other modifiers inline. This is documented in more detail below.
|xlit=: One or more comma-separated transliterated, respelled over otherwise rendered names in English, for use in foreign-language entries. You can specify alternative forms and other modifiers inline, as described below.
|varof= or |var=: One or more comma-separated main forms that this name is a variant of, if the lemma is a variant form. You can specify transliterations, alternative forms, English equivalents and other modifiers inline. This is documented in more detail below.
|m=: One or more comma-separated masculine equivalents of this name. You can specify transliterations, alternative forms, English equivalents and other modifiers inline, as described below.
|f=: One or more comma-separated feminine equivalents of this name. You can specify transliterations, alternative forms, English equivalents and other modifiers inline, as described below.
|A=: Override the initial indefinite article; see below.
|addl=: Arbitrary additional text to add at the end, after a comma and within italics. If beginning with a semicolon, the preceding comma is suppressed.
|sort=: What to sort by (in the generated categories) if not the pagename. Generally only needed for Japanese.

Comments:

Note the difference between equivalent and transliterated/respelled names. For example, the Bulgarian name Иванов (Ivanov) has transliterated name Ivanov and equivalent name Johnson.
The |xlit= parameter does not need to be used strictly for transliterations, but can also be used for respelled borrowings, e.g. Mueller of ၵျႃႇမၼ်ႇ Müller.
The module automatically determines whether to use initial a or an depending on the first following word (and knows that unisex should use a even though it begins with a vowel). The initial indefinite article is normally capitalized when the language specified by |1= is English, and lowercase otherwise. This is consistent with the general format of definitions in Wiktionary, where English-language terms are normally defined using long, sentence-style definitions that begin with a capital letter and end with a period (full stop), but foreign-language terms are defined using short glosses that are formatted with an initial lowercase letter and no final period/full stop. Both the case of the initial article and whether it is a or an can be overridden with the |A= parameter.
