| Definition: | The use of a human name |
Formal value Set definition : XML or JSON.

This value set defines its own codes:
The use of a human name
This value set defines its own terms in the system http://hl7.org/fhir/name-use
| Code | Display | Definition | v3 Map (EntityNameUseR2) | v2 Map (0200) |
| usual | Known as/conventional/the one you normally use. | =C | ~D | |
| official | The formal name as registered in an official (government) registry, but which name might not be commonly used. May be called "legal name". | =OR | ~L | |
| temp | A temporary name. Name.period can provide more detailed information. This may also be used for temporary names assigned at birth or in emergency situations. | =T | ~TEMP | |
| nickname | A name that is used to address the person in an informal manner, but is not part of their formal or usual name. | ~P | ~N | |
| anonymous | Anonymous assigned name, alias, or pseudonym (used to protect a person's identity for privacy reasons). | ~ANON | ~S | |
| old | This name is no longer in use (or was never correct, but retained for records). | ~OLD | >NOUSE >BAD | |
| maiden | A name used prior to marriage. Marriage naming customs vary greatly around the world. This name use is for use by applications that collect and store "maiden" names. Though the concept of maiden name is often gender specific, the use of this term is not gender specific. The use of this term does not imply any particular history for a person's name, nor should the maiden name be determined algorithmically. | =M | ~M |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Level | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies |
| Source | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) |
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance) |
| Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application |
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept |
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
In addition, this page will include mappings to HL7 v2 or HL7 v3 code where these have been defined.
