LAW APPLICABLE TO DETERMINING AN INDIVIDUAL'S RIGHT TO A NAME IN GERMANY
УДК 347.1 ББК 67.4
Abstract
In this article, the author analyzes the 2024 amendments to German conflict-of-laws regulations governingindividuals’ naming rights. These amendments replaced the lex patriae as the primary rule for establishingindividuals’ naming rights with the lex domicilii. Spouses may also choose a name acquired in another EUMember State, provided the necessary conditions are met. The clear advantages of this new method fordetermining the applicable law governing naming rights include optimally accounting for increased migrationwhile preserving the state language and historical naming traditions of individuals in Germany.
