Telugu names

Telugu (/ˈtɛlʊɡuː/; తెలుగు, Telugu pronunciation: [ˈteluɡu]) is a Dravidian language spoken predominantly in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Yanam district of Puducherry, India by the Telugu people. Traditional Telugu names follow a distinct naming system that sets it apart from the rest of South Asia. In which, the family name is in the genitive case, hence stands first, which is then followed by given name(s). This practice of placing family names first is also seen amongst Han Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Hungarian peoples.
