Place second part of a string at the first place

I have a string "givenname surname". What I want is to turn this "surname, givenname". First I thought I would need to somehow place the surname at the first place, then replace the empty space with a comma and space.

I do not have any code yet :C sry.

Agreed on @ansgar wiechers's comment.

$str = "Firstname Lastname"
$str -replace '(\w+)\s+(\w+)','$2, $1'

Output : 

Lastname, Firstname
