The Girl With The Longest Name In The World Needed An Extra Large Birth Certificate (2024)

Why The Girl With The Longest Name In The World Has Needed A Two-Foot Long Birth Certificate

The girl with the longest name in the world doesn’t seem to mind that her mother named her with the intention of setting a Guinness record.

In fact, in 1997 when she was featured on the Oprah Winfrey show, she pronounced her unbelievably long name without hesitation… pronouncing everything as if it was all meant to go together.

However, it really doesn’t look like these letters belong together, does it?

Here’s the full name of the girl (who’s now a woman) with the longest name in the world:

How Rhoshandiatellyneshiaunneveshenk Koyaanisquatsiuth Williams Got Her Name

Basically, her mother had two main reasons for naming her the longest name in the world:

1. She wanted to set a Guinness record
2. She wanted her daughter to have a name unlike anyone else in the world

Mission accomplished, Momma.

Is It Really The Longest Name In The World?

There are 1,019 letters that spell out the girl with the longest name’s name.

However, her bizarre name didn’t start out that long. Initially, her name wasRhoshandiatellyneshiaunneveshenk Koyaanisquatsiuth Williams. After a few weeks (and likely a few consultations of the Guinness record holders for longest name) “Rhoshandia…’s” parents filed an amendment and added many, many letters to form the lengthy moniker above.

Because of this, her birth certificate was over two feet long, which included her 36-letter middle name. Her name is so long, in fact, that when she was on the Oprah Winfrey show, they had to create a brand new, special scrolling graphic to fit all the letters on the screen.

However, when you search the Guinness World Records site for the person with the longest name, it’s actually not hers that comes up.

She Is Not The First Person To Have Such A Long Name…

Because of her incredibly long name, she goes simply by “Jamie”. Jamie, however, is not the first person to have a ridiculously long name. The Guinness record for the world’s longest last name was set by a German man whose name is:

In Conclusion

My name is Jen. Growing up, there were usually an average of four or five Jens, Jennys, Jennifers, and Jennies in my school classes. I’ve always wanted a more unique name, but now… I think I’m happy with the one I have.

Thanks Mom!
