full name

The unabridged official name of an entity, when its standard name is shortened.

The full name of an object is listed when its official name is longer than its standard name. A full name is unabridged, and includes all component prefixes, suffixes, middle names, preceding names, etc. A common example would be the official legal form of a country name, when the country is commonly recognized by a shorter name. Likewise, objects named after persons are often most recognized with that person's first and middle names omitted; the full name would include those.

Full names may also be listed in cases where the standard name contains widely accepted abbreviations, initials, or acronyms.

The full form can include names or terms omitted from a shorter standard name. An official legal name is specifically the registered form, while a full name is the unabridged official form relative to the commonly used name.
