|3=, |4=, ...: Zero or more source names from which the name of the entry in question is derived.

|ts=, |ts2=, ...: Transcriptions for the source name(s) specified in |3=, |4=, ..., respectively. See {{m}} for more information.
|alt=, |alt2=, ...: Display form for the source name(s) specified in |3=, |4=, ..., respectively. See {{m}} for more information.

|sc1=, |t2=, ...: Script code for the source name(s) specified in |3=, |4=, ..., respectively. Very rarely needs to be given. Note that the first name must use |sc1=, not |sc= (which applies to all source names).
|q1=, |q2=, ...: Left qualifier(s) for the source name(s) specified in |3=, |4=, ..., respectively. See #Inline modifiers below. Note that the first name must use |q1=, not |q=.
|qq1=, |qq2=, ...: Right qualifier(s) for the source name(s) specified in |3=, |4=, ..., respectively. See #Inline modifiers below. Note that the first name must use |qq1=, not |qq=.

|sort=: Sort key for the categories generated by this template. Rarely needed, except in Japanese.
|sc=: Script code that applies to all source names. Very rarely needed.

Inline modifiers

All per-source-name properties can be specified either through separate parameters or inline modifiers. Generally, inline modifiers are preferred because they are more compact and avoid the need to keep track of the logical parameter number. The line modifier syntax looks like Изабе́лла<tr:Izabɛ́lla><t:Isabelle> to specify modifiers such as transliterations, glosses and qualifiers. In this example, for the Russian name Изабе́лла (Izabɛ́lla, “Isabelle”), the manual transliteration Izabɛ́lla and gloss "Isabelle" are given. The following modifiers are recognized; see {{link}} for the exact meaning of these modifiers.

t: gloss
tr: transliteration
ts: transcription, for languages where the transliteration and pronunciation are markedly different (e.g. Akkadian)
q: left qualifier, e.g. <q:neither sexual nor romantic in nature> (in reference to platonic love); this appears before the term, parenthesized and italicized
qq: right qualifier; this appears after the term, parenthesized and italicized
l: comma-separated left labels, e.g. <l:rare> or <l:UK,Australia> or <l:archaic,or,dialectal>; as shown, there must not be a space after the comma for it to be recognized as a delimiter; the labels appear before the term, parenthesized, italicized and appropriately linked as if {{lb}} were used (but without categorization); an alternative syntax is to enclose the labels in <<...>>, e.g. <l:<<rare>>, <<archaic>> or <<dialectal>>>
ll: comma-separated right labels; these appear after the term, parenthesized, italicized and appropriately linked as for left labels
ref: reference or references, using the syntax documented in Template:IPA#References
g: comma-separated list of gender/number specifications; see Module:gender and number for the complete list
alt: alternative display text
pos: part of speech
lit: literal meaning
id: sense ID; see {{senseid}}
sc: script code
xlit: conventional/non-scientific transliteration
eq: Equivalent English name

On the English page Shevardnadze:

{{name translit|en|ka|შევარდნაძე|type=surname}} ⇒

In the last example, the name "Kumiko" has a large number of possible spellings in Japanese. Rather than list them all, an alternative is to refer in the etymology to the page listing them, and not include any source spellings in the definition line. In this case, the text changes to read a Japanese female given name instead of the Japanese female given name NAME.

{{name translit|en|grc|type=male given name|Ἀντίοχος|addl=notably borne by the thirteen kings of the [[w:Seleucid Empire|Seleucid]] dynasty}}. ⇒
