If it's just for displaying the name you can use the PersonNameComponentsFormatter:

var nameComponents = PersonNameComponents()
nameComponents.givenName = "Mihai"
nameComponents.lastName = "Radu"
print(PersonNameComponentsFormatter.localizedString(from: nameComponents, style: .default, options: []))

According to the docs this takes into account the name order rules for the current locale but allows user preferences to override it.
