Van Rensselaer, StephenMedici, Lorenzo de'Names beginning with “Mac,” “Saint,” or “O'.” Names that begin with Mac, Saint, or O'can have many variations in abbreviations (Mc, St.), spelling (Sainte, San), capitalization(Macmillan, McAllister), and hyphenation or apostrophes (O'Neill or Odell; Saint-Gaudensor St. Denis). Alphabetize all such names based on the letters actually present; do notgroup them because they are similar.Names in languages other than English. Naming conventions in many languages aredifferent from those in English. If your paper involves many names from a particularlanguage, study these conventions for the relevant language.Many Spanish last names are compound names, consisting of an individual's paternal andmaternal family names and usually joined by the conjunction y. Alphabetize such namesunder the first part.Ortega y Gasset, JoséSánchez Mendoza, JuanaAlphabetize Arabic last names that begin with the particle al- or el(“the”) under theelement following the particle. Names that begin with Abu, Abd, and Ibn are similar toEnglish names beginning with Mac or Saint and should be alphabetized under these terms.Hakim, Tawfiq al-Abu Zafar Nadvi, SyedJamal, Muhammad Hamid al-Ibn Saud, AzizIf an author with a Chinese or Japanese name follows traditional usage (family namefollowed by given name), do not invert the name or insert a comma between the “first” and“last” names. If the author follows westernized usage (given name followed by familyname), treat the name as you would an English name.Traditional usageChao Wu-chiYoshida ShigeruWesternized usageTsou, TangKurosawa, Noriaki19.1.2 Date of PublicationThe publication date for a book consists only of a year, not a month or day, and is usuallyidentical to the copyright date.
