Here’s how the fields defined by FHIR for HumanName map to the fields in Salesforce.

Table 1. HumanName - Salesforce
HumanName Resource	Salesforce Field	Type	Salesforce Cardinality	Notes
`family`	`PersonName.LastName`	String	0.1	In cases where a person has a middle name, `PersonName.LastName` is supposed to store a combination of the middle name and the last name.
`Given`	`PersonName.FirstName`	String	0.1	While the cardinality defined by FHIR for `HumanName.Given` is zero-to-many, the Salesforce implementation in `PersonName.FirstName` is zero-to-one.
`text`	`PersonName.FullName`	String	0.1	N/A
`use`	`PersonName.NameUsageType`	Dynamic picklist	0.1	While FHIR defines `HumanName.use` as a code, Salesforce implements `PersonName.NameUsageType` as a dynamic picklist.
`prefix`	`PersonName.Prefix`	String	0.1	While the cardinality defined by FHIR for `HumanName.prefix` is zero-to-many, the Salesforce implementation in `PersonName.Prefix` is zero-to-one.
`suffix`	`PersonName.Suffix`	String	0.1	While the cardinality defined by FHIR for `HumanName.suffix` is zero-to-many, the Salesforce implementation in `PersonName.Suffix` is zero-to-one.
`period`	`PersonName.EffectiveDate`	Date Time	0.1	In Salesforce’s implementation, `HumanName.period` is split into two fields, `PersonName.EffectiveDate` and `PersonName.EndDate`.
`period`	`PersonName.EndDate`	Date Time	0.1
