A quick definition of full name: A full name is the name that identifies a person and distinguishes them from others. It includes their personal name, middle name or initial (if any), and surname arranged in a customary order. In some cultures, the surname comes first, followed by one or more personal names.
Middle names A middle name is not a separate part of your name. Middle names are a part of your first name. Of course, in day-to-day life we talk of “middle names”, being any name(s) after your first forename. Legally speaking, your “first name” is in fact all your forenames together.
It is usually the last name of a person. Example: Smith, Johnson, Garcia, Patel, Kim, and Jones are all examples of surnames. Explanation: Surnames are used to identify a person's family and ancestry. They are often used in official documents, such as passports, driver's licenses, and birth certificates.

Unless you've had a legal name change after your birth certificate was prepared, your “full legal name” is EXACTLY what's printed on your birth certificate. All of it, not part of it.
