Main templates
{{WikiProject Eritrea}} —Template to add to talk pages of all Ethiopia-related articles
Eritreans commonly use their fathers'given names aspatronymics after their own. Sometimes their father's father's name appears in third place, but this style is usually for official documents; only in rare circumstances would Eritreans adopt their grandfather's name as a last name for common usage. Note that if the name isTigrinya, it does not imply that a subject is a member of theTigray people, as many other groups also use Tigrinya names.
Many Eritrean names arecompound nouns inGe'ez unless this unusual usage can be verified in a reliable source, which then needs to be added to the relevant article.
Eritreans, especially in the West, will frequently adopt their owntransliteration scheme for styling themselves, that does not always correspond to any of the various schemes employed by linguists. Wheneverproper names become notable under suchad hoc spellings, they should be preferred as the most common searchable term, e.g. songstressManalemosh Dibo. Articles about musicians withstage names are listed at their more familiar name with thelegal name given in the article lead sentence.
This also applies to names of albums, songs, etc. that are sometimes transliterated directly as proper names. The name of an album isitalicised, and if desired, the English interpretation could be given in parentheses and quotation marks ("like this").
