中国汉族人的全名由姓和名组成。中文姓名的特点是,姓总是在前,名跟在其后,千百年来,父姓一直世代相传。然而,如今,孩子跟母亲姓并不罕见。一般来说,名有一个或两个汉字,通常承载父母对孩子的愿望。从孩子的名字可以推断出父母希望孩子成为什么样的人,或者预期他们过什么样的生活。父母非常重视给孩子取名,因为名字往往会伴随孩子一生。
The full name of Han Chinese consists of family name and given name. In a Chinese name, the family name always appears ahead of the given name, and over the past centuries, the father’s family name has been passed on from generation to generation. Nowadays, however, it is not rare that a child is named using his/her mother’s family name. Generally speaking, a given name includes one or two Chinese characters, which bears parents’ expectation for children. We can infer from a child’s name that what kind of people his parents hope him to be and what life his parents hope him to live. Parents attach great importance to giving a name to their children, in that the given name would accompany all their life.
