The first name is usually a Pashtun name, and the last name or surname is their corresponding tribe name. In contrast, a Pakistani name is established by their full name consisting of their personal or most-called name and their fathers name. On the other hand, Afghan names traditionally consist of a first name/personal name alone without a middle name or surname.
