Footnote

d Samoans have a first name​—Pele, for example—​and a family name. Pele had the family name Fuaiupolu from his father. In addition, there are Samoans who are entitled to have a chiefly name. Some of Jehovah’s Witnesses renounce their chiefly name or refuse to accept one, feeling that the name has political or worldly connotations. In this account we will generally use the first name followed by the surname most commonly known, such as in the name Pele Fuaiupolu.
