A [[Legal Person] is a real-world entity that has legal standing in a jurisdiction.

Legal names can be changed by the bearer or guardian and so cannot be relied upon to stay constant over time.
Legal names are only valid in a legal jurisdiction, typically a sovereign state.
Moving the bearer of the name to a region with a different alphabet will require some sort of transliteration of the name at a minimum.
So the legal name could be different in different jurisdictions.

Recital 68 of the eIDAS Regulation of the EU states that Legal Persons are all of the entities constituted under, or governed by, the law of a Member State, irrespective of their legal form.
User Objects should have a name (key) that is assigned when the object is created, and that should never be changed unless some error has occurred.
Any other Identifier in the User Object should be changable under the right conditions.
Each data control can decide for themselves whether they wish to track the legal status of the Subject of the database object that they track.
