Can there be 2 names in surname in a U.S. passport?

I have a compound first name (this can be problematic) because in some applications they put the second part of my first name in the middle name field; but multiple family/surnames are not a problem.

Speaking of Arabic names, the name is (for males, and is written without dashes):

First Name - Last Name - Father's First Name - Father's Last Name

In my case, my father also has a compound first name, so you can imagine the fun I have living in Kuwait.

However, in the application you should put your full legal name. The name that appears in your travel document (generally a passport), and it should have the exact same latin spelling as well.

Yes. Your first name will appear in the First name field and everything else will appear in the Surname field. The Surname field is not restricted to a single word.
