Albanian names are names used in, or originating in, Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia and the Albanian diaspora. In Albania a complete name usually consists of a given name (Albanian: emri); the given name of the individual's father (Albanian: atësia), which is seldom included except in official documents; and a (most commonly patrilineal) family name or surname (Albanian: mbiemri). They are invariably given in the Western name order, or given name followed by family name.<ref "name"=Alb>"Albania name", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albanian_name, accessed 27 February 2021.</ref> | |||

The practice was not well established until the early 1900s.<ref name="profile">The Family History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, “Family History Record Profile: Albania,” Word document, private files of the FamilySearch Content Strategy Team, 1991-1998.</ref> | Hereditary family surnames developed quite late in Albania.
