Summary/Abstract: In order to individualize the personality of an individual in relation to another individual, the name of the physical person (surname and forename) must be used. The name is a component part of the usage ability as well as a non-patrimonial, civil, subjective right, presenting their characteristics. The name is a complex notion whose birth, historically speaking, represents primarily the result of a long usage, as any element related to language. The name becomes a legal concept, its structure and rules of assigning are the subject of the regulations, and not the name itself. The name is attached to privacy, as demonstrated in the first place by being a means of individualization of a person. The social, individual and family interest are all joined by name. Each of these interests are legitimate and an excess of one of them threatens the existence of the others. Humans can not be outside the legal life at no time.
