 People
in Western countries usually have long names. Many people have middle names other than their first and
last names. For instance, the 35th U.S.
President had a long name. His full name was John Fitzgerald
Jack Kennedy.
That is quite a long name! However,
there is a man in Germany who has a longer name! In fact, he has the
longest name in his country! So, what is his name?
It’s Bernd Ottovordemgentschenfelde! It’s very hard to pronounce his last name!
The 45-year-old floor tiler says he has a hard
time getting his name to fit on official forms.
Therefore, he often has to shorten his last name to
‘Gentschenfelde.’ On November 8, a name expert from the University
of Leipzig in Germany, Judth Schwanke, confirmed that Bernd has
the longest name on record-24 letters. It must be hard
for his friends to say his full name! |
