Bengali name

Personal names in Bengali-speaking countries typically consist of one or several given names and a surname. While the given name is usually gender-specific, the citation of the name generally follows the "Western order" of "given name, surname". This practice, however, is not strictly universal. Personal names generally depend on the person's religion and draw origins from languages such as Sanskrit, Pali, Arabic, and Persian, though they are used and pronounced according to native Bengali norms.
