in denmark and norway, the term middle name refers to names that are originally surnames, but not part of the last name of the name bearer. the term middle name does not refer to additional given names, which are instead referred to as given names. a middle name could be e.g. one's mother's maiden name or the last name of another recent ancestor (for instance a grandparent). one can have several middle names, but it is unusual to have more than one or two. in law, middle names have a separate status. in practice, their status is similar to that of additional given names, and middle names are often omitted in everyday use, just like a person with 3 or 4 given names would only use one of them in most situations. the historical purpose of middle names is to honour some related family or person, a godparent, or even a completely unrelated person, such as a locally or nationally prominent figure. until the 19th century, it was not unusual to have the last name of a godparent as one's middle name, even when the godparent was not a blood relative. this practice, and the use of middle names in general, however, was mostly limited to the bourgeois class and the nobility, and was seldom seen among common people. in the 20th century, the use of middle names, especially one's mother's maiden name, was more widely adopted, although it is by no means mandatory. there are few set rules for how names are constructed today; people are required to have one given name and one family name, but can have as many additional given names and middle names as they like.
