A name variation or alias is an assumed or additional name. AKA means “also known as” and indicates another name the person was known by.

Variations

If you see variations of a name listed in the record, type both versions separating them with the word “or.” For example,
Frederico or Francis
Elisabeth or Elizabeth
Millett or Millet
Aliases or AKA

To index a name that has one or more aliases or uses an AKA, type the word or between each name.

For example, if an individual’s name is listed as “Joseph Broski AKA Joseph Browzowski AKA Jozef Brzozowski,” you would type the following:

Given Name: Joseph or Jozef

Surname: Broski or Brozowski or Brzozowski
