Is there a standard for how to record dit names on FamilySearch? Do we include both surnames in the Last Name field, and if so do we put the term "dit"/"ditte" between them?

    I am not connected with Family Search.

    See https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-to-enter-names-in-family-tree which says

    "Put nicknames and other variations in the Other Information section

    Add other names a person had in the “Other Information” section. Here are examples:

    • Name variants caused by naming customs, such as French "dit" names"
