# init(_:strategy:) Creates a person name components object from a given string by applying the provided parsing strategy. ``` init(_ value: S.ParseInput, strategy: S) throws where S : ParseStrategy, S.ParseOutput == PersonNameComponents ``` ## Parameters `value` A string to parse into person name components. `strategy` The strategy used to parse a string into person name components. ## Discussion This method uses a combination of locale rules and the provided parse strategy object to determine the most likely name components for a particular string representation. Parsing name components from a representation created for an existing name components object may not produce equivalent results. > Important: > The format style only parses names using Latin or CJK scripts. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
