In my country we put our name first when we write it or when we say it, but in some official documents we have our names written at the end and the last-name first.

Thanks for the episode.
Great site!

In my country, Myanmar, the people have not a surname. Instead of surname, we put "Maung" and "Ma" before our name. If you are a guy and your name is Jame, we will call "Mg(Maung) Jame". And if you are a girl and your name is Amelia, we will call you "Ma Amelia". If you are a man we will put "U(Oo)" and if you are a woman we will put "Daw" before your name.

There are many differences in writing name-surname, depending on countries. I did not know this information about your country.
