Firefox Autofill fails with two part surnames: 730 million humans have legal two part surnames.

CONTEXT Many societies, including most of the Spanish and Portuguese speaking world (~730 million people), use two part surnames so the full name in most official documents, including passports, take the format:
Name: <name> Surname: <first surname from father> <first surname from mother>
Here is an example of the famous (deceased) Spanish poet:
Name: Federico Surname: García Lorca
Note there is no hyphen nor should there be one. He has TWO surnames.
PROBLEM
A recent update in Firefox introduced a single field for name under Settings > Privacy & Security > Saved Addresses which is used by Autofill to fill forms.
Our poet would enter "Federico García Lorca" under name. If he were then to purchase a plane ticket and rely on Firefox Autofill to fill in the details, Autofill -- in a very narrow anglophone view -- will interpret "García" as a middle name and suppress it.
As a result, the plane ticket will be issued to "Federico Lorca" who is not even the same person, and who may not even exist. Moreover, he may be denied boarding the plane or refused entry into the USA because the name on the ticket does not match any of his official documentation.
I have had to disable Autofill for this reason.
SOLUTION
A proposed solution is to do like Edge does: Have separate Name and Surname fields the user can specify.
Thank you.
