parsename
Python class to parse common long names used in Puerto Rico.
This class is a quick solution to parse most of the long compound names I have encountered in my data wrangling adventures.
This class was designed to deal with name prefixes common in Puerto Rico like "de", "de la", "de los", "de las" and breaks names into these components:
- first name
- initial
- last name (spanish: apellido paterno)
- mother's maiden name (spanish: apellido materno)
It is not a full name parser, like python-nameparser, which I highly recommend for handling English names with titles and other suffixes and prefixes.
