ratu josefa iloilovatu uluivuda, better known simply as "ratu josefa iloilo", who served as president of fiji from 2000 to 2009, is an example of a fijian who had a surname, but did not generally use it, except for legal purposes. "iloilo," the name by which he was generally known, which most non-fijians mistakenly assumed to be his surname, was thus a diminutive of his second given name. this shortening of names is another common fijian custom; another notable example of this phenomenon is rugby star rupeni caucaunibuca, widely referred to both inside and outside fiji as "caucau".
