Nom d'usage et nom de famille. Toute personne possède un nom de famille (appelé auparavant nom patronymique). Ce nom figure sur l'acte de naissance. Il peut s'agir par exemple du nom du père. Il est néanmoins possible d'utiliser, dans la vie quotidienne, un autre nom appelé nom d'usage. Ce nom d'usage ne remplace en aucun cas le nom de famille qui reste le seul nom mentionné sur les actes d'état civil (acte de naissance ou de mariage, livret de famille...). 2, record 1, French, - nom%20d%27usage
