Should I encode names of parameters in a query string of a URI?

I know I need to encode the arguments of parameters in a query string of a URI, but what about the parameter names, do they need to be encoded too?

Yes. Special characters in query strings have their special meaning anywhere in the query string.

If the parameter name is foo=bar then ?foo=bar=something won't be parsed as foo=bar equals something.
