Described like this, our country in recent years circulated at a "the plague", meaning that too many people with the same name, it has been a disaster.We regardless of whether this is a bit alarmist, exaggerated, but the fact is that many of the same name.As for the same reason, of course, are various, such as surname because our country is too concentrated, nearly 85% of people use only, 100 and could be the name with the word is very limited, cause of the same name is inevitable.In addition, from the perspective of the name, some of the reasons is related to the improper method name.This naming method is undeserved, the main is blindly follow suit, just a single name.

So, in order to reduce social problems, with the same name and bring up single-name is also an important taboo.Single-name also called vocabulary, and shan called the two words, and to distinguish it from double (double word) of the three characters.If we look back at the name of history can be found in our country, our country has long been a single-name habits, and was the name the biggest characteristic of han and tang dynasties period.At that time, many famous historical figures, such as the emperor gaozu liu bang, han hang up, cao cao, sui wendi Yang jian, the great poet li bai is single.The three celebrities zhuge liang, the name of the person such as jin jin wudi emperor wudi is three words, but because it is a compound surname, name is a word, belong to the single name.Investigate its reason, on the one hand, is in his name also advocate of primitive simplicity, a single names than double name simple and easy;And because follwed in han adopts the system of double name change single names, as the details have been described previously sections in the book.To add here is that at that time, there are few people in our country, although there are many people because of a single name, but overall the number of small, and the ancients also does not have a similar to today's "the plague".Today because of a single name, of course, compared with the han and tang dynasties period, the reason is more complex.

我國在宋代以來一直流行起“譜名”或“字輩名”， 起出的名字雖然像起單名一樣只有一個字屬於自己，其他兩個字分別屬於家族和同輩人，但由於與姓氏合在一起成了三字名，而各家、各代人之間的姓氏和字輩派語的差別又～般較大，因而儘管宋代以後的人口與漢唐相比有大量增加，甚至清代全盛時期的人[ll 多達4 億，但由於起單名的人不多，同名現象並不突出。只是在開始於20 世紀20 年代前後的新文化運動以來，特別是在新中國成立以後，社會上要求人們與舊傳統決裂，要“打倒孔家店”，在廢除於名字之外起“字’，的習慣的同時逐漸出現起名簡單化傾向，並美其名曰簡潔明快，其結果是起“譜名”或“字輩名”的人越來越少，在姓名中剩下的也只有家族的名字“姓”和一個字的個人名了，單名風氣於是大開，同名之風也愈演愈烈。根據有關方面對1900 年以來北京、上海、廣州三個城市起名特點的研究，發現北京同名最多的前20 個名字在20 世紀50 年代以前都是雙名，60 年代後才有單名進入前20 名排行，而70 、8 儀90 年代前20 名全部是單名，2000 年後的名字中又有雙名增加的趨勢二同樣，上海人名字的變化規律與北京大體相仿，只是從50 年代起就出現單名進人排行榜前20 位，而雙名在2000 年後已經超過排行榜半數。從統計數字來看，在從雙名進人單名和單名進人雙名的過程中，上海的變化趨勢要比北京更快一些。此外，廣州各年代的名字變化規律與北京、上海又有不同，其基本特點是新中國成立前出生的人的名字單名居多，尤其是30 年代前單名占多數，50 、60年代排行榜前20 名全部為雙名，70 、80 年代後單名逐漸增多，而90 年代前20 名全部是雙名，2000 年後單名又重新出現在前20 名排行中。
