To get into the Guinness Book of Records you need to do something out of the ordinary, some got their certificate because they were able to wrap themselves in gift paper, others because they have a huge collection of video games, but this mom went one step further there in order to be recognized.
The woman wanted her daughter to have a “unique and unrepeatable” name, so, after thinking too much, she gave her daughter a name with a total of 1,019 letters, not counting the middle and last names. And of course he did win the Guinness World Record for the longest name.
The woman with the longest name in the world
During an interview on the Oprah show in 1997, Sandra Williams, mother of the young woman with the longest name in the world, explained that it took her about six years, along with her husband, to decide what her daughter’s name would be. Both invented a series of nonsense words that would form the name of the little girl.
When she was born in 1984, the girl was registered as Rhoshandiatellyneshiaunneveshenk Koyaanisquatsiuth Williams, but after six years they were not at all satisfied and decided to lengthen it so that it would exceed a thousand letters and they also lengthened the second name so that it had at least 36.
As a result, it is impossible to write the name in a single paragraph and, incredible as it may seem, it cannot be mentioned, much less remembered. However, the girl, who was only 12 years old in the 90s, was proud to be able to recite her name, although she assured that they much prefer to call her Jamie to shorten the name.

No, you’re not seeing badly and we didn’t fall asleep writing the name either, that’s how you actually write your name, that’s not counting the last name.
As explained on the Oprah show, the little girl learned to pronounce her name with a tape recording that was played to her when she still did not know how to write. Jamie says that she is delighted to be famous for this reason.
The previous record for the longest name was set by a German man born in 1914 who had a total of 747 letters and who curiously died in 1997. There is currently no one to take the record from this woman and it is possible that no one intends to do so , so you can continue to have the crown for a long time.
