#REDIRECT [[Template:Malay name]]
 
 
==Usage==
 
This template is put at the top of a biographical article to explain to readers that the second element of a Malay name is not the [[family name]] but a [[patronymic]], that is, the [[given name]] of his or her father.
 
 
 
The template should be used as follows:
 
 
 
:<nowiki>{{</nowiki>Malay name|''(given name)''|''(patronymic)''}}
 
 
 
For instance, if the subject of the biographical article is named "[[Zubir Said]]" or "Zubir bin Said", the template should be set out like this:
 
 
 
:<nowiki>{{</nowiki>Malay name|Zubir|Said}}
 
 
 
[[Category:Surname disambiguation templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]
