The origin of foreigners' surnames?

Korean names are basically composed of three or two Chinese characters pronounced in Korean. The first word is the surname, followed by the first name, and there is usually a word in the first name that represents seniority.

However, this ancient tradition has not stagnated. Although most people still follow this tradition, more and more people name their children in Korean, which can't be written in Chinese characters.

In most cases, surnames haven't changed at all, and most of them have changed their names.

There are about 300 surnames in Korea, but the vast majority of the population only take a few of them as surnames. The most common surnames are: Jin, Li, Park, An, Zhang, Zhao, Cui, Chen, Han, Jiang, Liu and Yin.

Korean women do not change their surnames after marriage. When Americans call a woman Mrs Smith, it means that the woman is the wife of a man named Smith. When a married woman calls herself Mrs Kim in Korea, she usually indicates that her maiden name is Kim. Some women use their husbands' surnames, but this is rare.

Koreans generally don't call others by their first names unless they are very close friends. Even among brothers and sisters, young people should call their sisters and brothers by their first names.

Thai names come first and surnames come last, such as Ba Song? Zalenpeng, Basson is the first name, Zalenpeng is the last name. Unmarried women use their father's surname, while married women use their husband's surname.

Oral honorifics, whether male or female, generally only call their names, not surnames, and add a title "Kun" (meaning you) before their names. Like basson? Zallenpeng, verbally called Basson.

Thai names are crowned according to custom.

The titles of civilians are: adult men have "Nai" (sir), such as Nai Wei Chai? Shawan Suxi. Married women are all "Niang" (Nan, Ms.), such as Song's Niang? Shawan Suxi. Unmarried women are "sisters-in-law" Boys are "Dekai", girls are "Dekai", and so on.

First of all, it is undeniable that in ancient times, Japanese and Korean were greatly influenced by our China culture. Even the origin of Japanese itself is inextricably linked with Chinese characters. It is said that pseudonyms were created by Japanese women and used to spread among women. No wonder cursive script, a fluent word, was chosen as the template. So is the surname. In the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties in China, the social function of surnames was to represent related races, and surnames were a branch derived from surnames. As a mirror, it says, "Surnames are unified by ancestors; The surname is not divided by his descendants. " In the mid-4th century, with the establishment of the Yamato regime (the mid-Southern Song Dynasty in China), surnames began to emerge. In the ninth year of Tianzhi, in 670 AD, he began to compile accounts. This is the "Wu Geng Age" in Japanese history. Since then, Japan has moved from a "citizen" society to a "citizen" society. The origin of Japanese surnames is even more interesting. During the "shogunate period" (Mark era), only nobles, literati, rich people, tycoons and big landlords had surnames. For example, Sato, Suzuki, Toyotomi's, Kitajo's and Genji. After 1875, the other 27 million vendors, pawns and villains gradually began to have surnames. Because of the love of nature and illiteracy, there are

"Tian"-Tanaka, Tanabe, Tazawa, Honda, Ikeda, Takeda, Yoshida, Song Tian and Nohara Honda Nohara.

American names are arranged in the order of first name and last name. The first place, also called Christian name, is the official name recognized by law. Middle names are usually abbreviations, which are taken by parents who love their children or their relatives. They even named their children directly. The middle name represents the relationship between yourself and your relatives. Outsiders generally don't call their middle names, and they can't get into it. Even the court does not recognize the middle name as part of the legal name. Surnames are passed down from generation to generation in the family. According to American law, a woman should take her husband's surname after marriage, even if she is divorced, and her maiden name cannot be restored unless the law decides. Interestingly, some American names are so grotesque that they make jokes. It is said that a student of Texas State University once applied for a job in the library. The curator asked him, "What's your name?" He replied, "Guess." The curator was very angry and said angrily, "I'm really sorry, I'm very busy at work and I don't have time to guess your last name." Say and leave. In fact, the student's name is William. You guessed (Wiliiam Yo- gess), but he lost a job opportunity. Another example is that a policeman in Chicago caught a drunk in the street and asked his name. He replied drunkenly, "I'm an alcoholic." The policeman thundered, "Who doesn't know you are an alcoholic and asks your name?" Who knows that the drunkard doesn't show weakness and shouts, "Didn't I tell you I was an alcoholic?" The police checked with a grain of salt, only to know that his name was indeed Topper Kate. Fortunately, such a strange name is rare in the United States, otherwise I don't know how many misunderstandings it will cause.
