What are initials?
Initials are the first letters of a person's names, typically including the first name, middle name(s), and last name. They serve as a shortened representation of a full name and are commonly used in formal documents, signatures, monograms, and various identification purposes. For example, "John Michael Smith" becomes "JMS" or "J.M.S." depending on the formatting style chosen.
