Many Americans have middle names, but they often donโt use them socially. Some non-Americans wonder where this tradition comes from. Middle names have their roots in European culture, although, interestingly, early Americans didnโt usually have them. As the population grew, people started getting confused about who was who, and middle names became more common. German immigrants also influenced this trend.

Today, most people mainly use their middle name for legal documents, such as passports, medical records, voting, or census purposes. It helps the government keep track of individuals.

Middle names often come from relatives, like grandparents or parents. For example, my mom, I, and my daughter all share the middle name Marie. On my dadโs side, the firstborn son takes the fatherโs first name: my grandpa was Jack, my dad is Michael Jack, and his son is Brian Michael. If my brother has a son named Luke, he would be Luke Brian.

Most people donโt use their middle name socially, though some prefer to go by it for personal reasons. Middle names are important in family culture. Parents often use a childโs full name when theyโre in trouble. For instance, if I teased my brothers as a child, my dad might yell, โKayla Marie Mundstock, get in here right now!โ

Although rarely used in daily life, middle names are an important part of American culture. They connect people to their family, traditions, and personal identity, making them meaningful even when theyโre mostly invisible.
