Hi Anas,
I wrote half this reply yesterday and you’ve gotten some good responses since then, I’ll just add a couple things:
-
While givenName and familyName do show up as separate fields in the OJS database, or if you do an XML export of an article, based on this template templates\frontend\objects\article_details.tpl the site pulls the full name for display purposes. You’d have to change that in order to be able to style different parts of the name separately (which is a pretty significant deviation from the standard OJS template).
-
Depending on your theme, names may be styled as different things or in different ways depending on where they are, e.g. table of contents vs. article view page. You’d have to check for everywhere the names/authors show up.
-
I found this other forum post about some changes to the way OJS handles names to make it friendlier for multilingual contexts so I’d be wary of deviating too far for those reasons as well… it also doesn’t require all the name fields to be filled so you might run into trouble depending on the kinds of names your authors have now or in the future. Names get complicated fast!

All the best with your journal!
