This template may be placed at the top of a biographical article of someone with a Portuguese name to identify maternal and/or paternal surnames which make up the family name, as well as any generational title like "Filho".
{{Portuguese name|MATERNAL|PATERNAL|SUFFIX}}
{{Portuguese name|1=MATERNAL|2=PATERNAL|3=SUFFIX}}
{{Portuguese name|first=MATERNAL|second=PATERNAL|suffix=SUFFIX}}
Note: Each parameter is optional, but a maintenance category will be added to articles that use this template without any parameters.
{{Portuguese name|Alves|Silva}}
or {{Portuguese name|first=Alves|second=Silva}}
→{{Portuguese name|second=Monteiro|suffix=Filho}}
→ {{Portuguese name|first=Queiroz|second=Monteiro|suffix=Filho}}
→ {{Portuguese name|first=Alves|second=Souza|suffix=Neto}}
→ {{Portuguese name|Martins|Alves|suffix=Sobrinho}}

Usage note: In Portuguese names, Filho, if it appears, is usually a generational suffix meaning "Junior", and is not a family name, so it should be placed in the optional |suffix=
parameter. Rarely, Filho is the family name; in this case, it would be in the |first=
or |second=
parameter, and the |suffix=
parameter should be omitted. The same applies to Neto or Sobrinho which can be either a suffix (usually) or a family name (rarely). If you are not sure if something is a generational suffix or not, do not use the |suffix=
parameter.
