Even having articles in several languages about the naming Spanish customs in Hispanic America and Spain, obviously wikidata, wikipedia, and the wiki organization in general, still does not understand the way we Hispanics name ourselves. In the case of the person of this wikidata article, his full name is Carlos Holmes Trujillo García. Carlos and Holmes are given names (because hey, an Hispanic person can have as many given names as their parents want, standing alone or compound, and use only one or two of them; Trujillo is his first family name (the one received from his father) and García is his second family name (the one from his mother). And because Hispanic people DO NOT have First, Middle and Last names, but given name(s) and family names, this persons name CANNOT be simplified for informality as Carlos García; just like Gabriel García Marquez IS NOT Gabriel Marquez, or José Luis Rodrígues Zapateiro IS NOT José Zapateiro. So, please allow the fiel for given name to accept more than one given name, which is immensely common in every Spanish speaking country and community
