Each contributing institution must supply a name by which the identity is known to the institution, even if it is the same name as supplied by another source.  There is no one "established" or "authorized" form of name in an ISNI record.  When editing an existing record, clicking on the + will create empty fields in which to supply a name.

The surname is a required subfield in the web version, so names without a proper surname, such as Icelandic names, should be entered in direct order in the surname field.  Name variants may be recorded with the patronymic in the surname field and the forename in the "fornames" field.  (Example: Snorri Björnsson, ISNI 0000 0000 2900 9528)
