This template may be put near the top of a biographical article, after the first bolded mention of the subject's name, to create a note to explain to readers unfamiliar with Spanish names which part of a name is the family name. If there are two family names, these can both be stated.

This template can only be used on articles that include {{notelist}} or, if |reftype= is used, another footnote template.
