name/cjkvt/CC | A full personal name in CJKVT native script. | 山田直樹 | ✔️ | ❌
name/CC | A full personal name. Romanized names can be in title case or upper case, and can be in the order given name surname or surname given name. CJKVT native script names must be surname given name. For Japanese, either form can include honorifics.1 This entity returns the names in a normalized format, in the form GIVEN NAME SURNAME, for example JOHN SMITH. You can turn off normalization by setting normalize_names=false in the name_stoplist.lua script. You can also turn off score adjustment, by setting rescore_names=false in the name_stoplist.lua script. This option can improve performance when you do not need the normalization or score refinement. | John Smith | ✔️ | ❌
