The family name is usually written before the given name. If the person has a title, this precedes the family name. For example:

   Dr. Manusev Bojan
   Prof. Slobov Alex

Females who take their husband’s family name may feminize it. The wife of Bojan Manusev may be Magda Manuseva, for example. Recently, it has become more common for women to take their husband’s family name without feminizing it.
