Abstract

The article analyzes the issue of registration and translation of Indonesian mononyms-single-element personal proper names—within the legal and linguistic systems of Poland and the European Union. The aim of the paper is to highlight the technical, legal, and translation-related challenges that arise from the collision between the single-name model and the European two-element naming standard (given name + surname). The author provides defi nitions of key onomastic concepts and classifies the various anthroponymic models functioning in Indonesia. The article also examines administrative practices (using examples from the Netherlands and Poland) and Indonesian legal reforms aimed at standardizing name registration. The text includes proposals for legislative and terminological changes to facilitate the transcultural ad-aptation of personal names in population registration systems. From the perspective of legal linguistics and certified translation practice, the need is emphasized for introducing neutral terminology and adapting digital systems to cultural diversity.
