Empfängername

Empfängername is a German compound noun formed from Empfänger (recipient) and Name (name). It denotes the name of the person or entity that is to receive something, such as mail, a package, or funds. In everyday usage, Empfängername is often used as a field label on forms and in software when collecting delivery or payout information. It is commonly paired with terms like Empfängeradresse (recipient address) or Empfängernummer (recipient number).

In postal and logistics contexts, the exact spelling and formatting of the Empfängername are important for correct delivery and handling. In e-commerce, invoicing, and administrative processes, the Empfängername helps identify the intended recipient when messages, goods, or payments are directed to a specific person or organization. In digital communications, templates may include Empfängername to personalize messages or to populate the recipient field in contact forms or mail clients.

In banking and payments, the field label Empfängername appears to request the name of the person or company to whom money is being sent. While Empfänger can refer to individuals or organizations, Empfängername typically refers to the official or commonly used name of the recipient.

Privacy and data protection: The recipient’s name is personal data, and organizations must handle it in compliance with data protection laws such as the GDPR. This includes secure storage, minimal data retention, and lawful processing.
