English
[edit]Noun
[edit]middle initial (plural middle initials)
- An abbreviated middle name.
- (Philippines, by extension) The abbreviated form of the last name of one's mother.
- My full name is Ma. Clara Teresita R. dela Cruz. My mother's last name is Rodriguez.
Usage notes
[edit]- In the Philippines, this is only used in reference to one's complete legal full name, since people normally use a short-form full name composing only at least one of their primary given names (usually their first name) together with their last name (father's surname).
