-----

[](#usage)

#### name(string $name):

[](#namestring-name)

Credit for the original method goes to [Armand Niculescu](https://www.media-division.com/correct-name-capitalization-in-php/).

This method correctly capitalizes names when there are prefixes & suffixes, apostrophes, name parts that shouldn't be capitalized, and in other scenarios where using something like `ucwords(strtolower($str))` doesn't work.

Examples:

`$name``ucwords(strtolower($name))``Format::name($name)`michael o’carrolMichael O’carrolMichael O’Carrollucas l’amourLucas L’amourLucas l’Amourgeorge d’onofrioGeorge D’onofrioGeorge d’Onofriowilliam stanley iiiWilliam Stanley IiiWilliam Stanley IIIUNITED STATES OF AMERICAUnited States Of AmericaUnited States of Americat. von lieres und wilkauT.
