4xx references: Personal Names: Significant surname elements

Refer from each possible entry element of the name chosen for the heading, including each separate particle or prefix, but excluding connectives such as "y" or "und."

    Exceptions:
    In German, Dutch, and related languages do not refer from the definite article following a prefix; in Romance languages, do not refer from a surname abbreviated to a single letter. Normally make only one reference for each variant name. If applicable, however, make in addition one reference from each surname element not already referred from (excluding particles and prefixes). Do not otherwise refer from variants of variants.
