Changing names among the Chinese

For many centuries, China has maintained the tradition of changing one's name as a person grows older. There were five steps in total:

• Legal name (min);
• Childhood nickname (xiaoming);
• Student's name (xueming);
• Solemn title of student (guanming);
• Nickname of the great (Hao).

Everything is clear with the official one - this is one of the names given above, which accompanies a person throughout life and is used in all documents. Xiaomin is akin to Russian diminutive names and children's nicknames such as “cat”, “fish”, “bunny”, etc. But since the Chinese still strive to predict the future of a child, a child's name can also reflect desired personal qualities or serve as a talisman against evil. School and student names have long been out of date in the Middle Kingdom, but they used to be used for honoring during school holidays and celebrations.

But “Hao” is a completely different story. Only royalty, aristocrats and creatively gifted people can afford a nickname. Moreover, for such a pseudonym, the Chinese prefer to make combinations of 3-4 rare hieroglyphs. It is important not to confuse Hao with his official and middle name, which we will talk about a little later. The nickname conveys personal feelings, one might say, reflects the state of the soul. Therefore, symbolically, Hao can denote a person’s place of birth, creative preferences, love for something, etc. In modern China, the use of Hao is typical of writers and scientists.

And finally, let’s pay due attention to the second Chinese name, which in the Middle Kingdom is defined by the sonorous term “Tzu”. Moreover, this is not just a person’s nickname among family and friends, but a special ritual that is performed after a teenager reaches marriageable age (for men from 20 years old, for women from 15-17 years old). To receive “Tzu,” the young man puts on a hat, appears before his father and listens carefully to his order. For girls, the procedure is similar, only instead of a hat, sophisticated female natures pin up their hair with a hairpin. As a rule, young people change their names not immediately upon reaching the specified age, but immediately before their engagement or wedding celebration.

Most often, the symbolic "Zi" is based on the meaning of the official name and consists of two characters. However, in large families, the “middle name” may indicate birth order: for example, Shu (third) or Bo (first).

What Korean names for boys start with the letter "M"?

The unusual name Min Joon means 'handsome', 'talented'. The wonderful energy of the name guarantees the boy a promising and happy future.

Minsu sounds very beautiful and melodious, and the meaning of the name is “human”, “best”, “incredible”. The luxurious name Minho - 'great tiger', 'intelligent and friendly' will reward boys with the qualities of a real man.

Often relatives advise parents to name their newborn Minhyuk, which means 'smart and shining', 'great and friendly'.

The most common Chinese surnames

While talking about popular Chinese names, we cannot leave aside the topic of surnames. As already mentioned, female and male Chinese surnames are quite limited in number - there are only more than a hundred options. However, a huge proportion of the population falls into the top ten list of surnames. Let's give examples and percentages.

It turns out that 44% of the PRC population can be included in this list, i.e. Almost 600 million inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom have popular surnames. And if you also take into account that the Chinese also don’t have many popular names, then the abundance of dozens of full namesakes according to passport data is quite understandable.

Names and Koran

In the most traditional and religiously oriented communities, the names that were borne by the wives, relatives and companions of the Prophet Muhammad and other prominent figures in Islamic history are still popular. It must be said that there are not so many purely Quranic options. Actually, there is only one – Maryam. All other female names, originating in the suras recorded by the Prophet Muhammad, are personified concepts, more or less abstract. For example, this is how the forms “Aya”, meaning a sign, “Bursha”, translated as “good news”, and “Huda”, meaning “the right path”, appeared. Below we list some Islamic oriental female names. Beautiful and euphonious, they captivate many and therefore are always at the peak of popularity.

Features of names in Asia

The group of Asian names includes the names of residents of China, Japan, Thailand, South and North Korea and other East Asian countries. It is customary for all residents of Asian countries to name their children with short, uncomplicated names, except for residents of Thailand. It is customary for Thais to come up with a special name for a child, so it is very difficult to find two residents of Thailand with the same name.

Residents of Asia, like many other peoples, believe in the magic of a name and in the fact that by giving a child a special name, you can protect him from evil spirits or give him health, beauty, and wealth. For example, Dung means brave, An means courageous, Akihiro means a person with an outstanding mind, Mizuki means beautiful.

In the Muslim part of Asia (Dagestan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan), it is customary to name children in honor of great prophets or outstanding people, as well as to endow their name with certain qualities. For example, Abdullah is the servant of God, Camilla is perfection, Aliya is sublime, Zukhra is bright, shining, Alisher is the lion of God.

Christian Asian names are often found in countries such as Georgia, Armenia and are associated with religion. In India, Vietnam, Korea and Mongolia - countries professing Buddhism, it is customary to name their children after religious figures or reflecting the philosophy of faith.

Asians' names are written differently on official documents. The surname is written first, then the full first name given by the parents and the second name or nickname, which is given later or chosen by the child independently. It is non-standard in that, unlike the European system, where the first and last names are abbreviated to the first letters, among Asians everything is written in full.
