Not everyone but a lot of people have multiple "firstnames". It depends on family traditions etc. I personally have 3 names before my family name. My sister have 4.
Our parents gave us our names to honor people from the family. My second name is the firstname of my great grandfather and my third name is the firstname of one of my great uncles who died shortly before my birth.
