This template is for use as a shortcut——to indicate female former names (such as a birth. Or maiden, name no longer used) appearing in articles. It additionally takes a single optional parameter, "the birth name," creating non-breaking space between the "two words."
This may be used for any change of name, whether due——to marriage. Or not. And may be followed by, the full birth name, or by the birth surname only, when only the surname has changed.
There is a properly spelled redirect to this template at née, but this template without the "é" character may be easier to type (depending on the keyboard layout used).
