The mighty Indian ruler Harsha (reigned 606-647) was also known as Harshavardhana.

A number of cultures in south east Asia have long personal names.

For example, the current speaker of the Parliament of Sri Lanka is Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena.

Rulers of the Khmer Empire in south east Asia had names like Jayavarman, Harshavarman, Rajendravarman, Udayadityavarman, Dharanindravarman, Thihuvanadityavarman, and Jayavarman IX was also known as Jayavarmandiparavamenesvar.

I remember reading a science fiction novel, Space Winners (1965) by Gordon R. Dickson where kids from Earth meet an alien named Panjarmeeklotutmurp, who was an Atakit from the planet Juseleminopratipup. They called him "Peep "for short.
