Gorbachev 23 is a hunchback?- foreign surname tasting

"Gorbachev", who knows he is President of the former Soviet union, a tall, handsome, but in Russian "gorbachev" is the meaning of "hump", moreover, it is not a name, is just a name.

Not only that, like "DE gaulle", "Marx" and "Shakespeare", etc. E.g. "name" is also a surname, their real name should be "shire" respectively, "Carl" and "William".

With the cultural connotation of the han Chinese name system attaches great importance to the family name comparison, foreign attitude to surname is less value.Surname is most countries in the past few centuries, more don't have a name, a few countries and nation foreign citizen of Chinese swear "drop dead people" and for children who's squabbling, even in court phenomenon is difficult to think.

According to zhang lian fang chief editor of the book foreigners name account: in myanmar and other countries, people are famous no surname, at present there are surname country, most of the famous history for a long time in the last column is blank.Such as the British surname is in the 11th century began to appear after the Germanic conquest.By the 16th century to popular throughout the British Isles.Morgan in the book "ancient society", it is pointed out that, in the americas, "Saxon people until it was conquered by the normans, is only the name of the individual, rather than on behalf of the family name".As for black americans, but also between the north and the southThe warOnly after having its own name, so their family name is often can change, you just like clothes to casual.Lao people use surname is late July 28, 1943, by the French colonialists in Indochina federal governor decreed, each person must have a famous name, began to appear, even today, there are a lot of people do not have family name?

The same as China has a long history of ancient civilizations, such as Greece, Rome, Persia, India and so on, the emergence of surname also is very late.In ancient Persia, no last name until the 7th century ago, such as more than 2500 years ago of the achaemenid dynasty king Cyrus, and darius, okada buji, etc, are all famous no name yet.In ancient India, the modern significance of the above-mentioned related surname only commonly practiced late 18th century, the emergence of more than 3000 years ago "caste", though a long history, but its meaning only table career and identity, and today people surnames so-called big phase by the court.

Due to name the emergence and development of history is not long, westerners surname attitude relative Chinese is much more weak.Han Chinese women married to retain the original name, can't change CongFu surname, and most of the countries in the western women will change CongFu surname after marriage, or add a surname.India's former prime minister, the original name of Nehru, full name is indira Nehru, change after marriage CongFu surname;"Gandhi", the full name is indira Gandhi.From a focus on women's surname after marriage or not that the Chinese and foreign attaches great importance to the program of surnames, the size difference.

Surnames in the human system, has a very obvious similar phenomenon: often in animals, plants, or some of the non-living nature name for the surname.The similar phenomena reflect the cultural connotation of a kind: surname is closely related to the original totem.

Human first name from the totem worship, this is a physical and a common Chinese surname's features.

The earliest totem worship is the result of a primitive society "all things have spirit" religious beliefs.In primitive society of productivity level and cultural level is very poor, people can't figure out out of one's own and clan, that clan with certain animals, plants or abiotic have some sort of special relationship, under this special relationship things to protect, clan to reproduction and development, so the people took the special things as clan ancestor worship, worship, smoked with incense, day and night signaled to doing so.

In view of this, many ancient clan simply in the name of totem as the clan.Such as ancient Egypt and more the clan to cattle, sheep, dogs, lions, baboons, rabbit, animals such as bees, scorpion for totem;Clan like cattle as totem in South Africa, North America, Asia, Africa and around the totem for fish, shellfish, insect, each totem has a legend, also is the ancient clan object of worship.

Along with the accumulation of history and the cultural psychology of filtering, most of the totem into ethnic surname.French anthropologist reina g in the book "the rules of the totem worship", said: "the clan and the individual members are the totem animal should be used in his own name".Here "name", is the last name of later.In the nation today, many now surname comes from totem, such as common surname in Britain and America "Rachel", "Deborah" from the "sheep", "bee" totem;grapesTooth hole "wave" (fox), "lobo" (Wolf), "weng" (dog) "Leo (a lion) surname, such as Japan's" turtle, bear, tiger, the pig, crane "surname, such as are associated with the ancient totem.The name "totem" phenomenon, reveals the human surname culture one kind of gay.

Along with the development of social culture, the increasing of population, the expansion of clan, and fight for, an extension of the territory and development of clan internal gradually differentiate into different class and occupation, early purely in terms of totem for the surname way already can not adapt to the need of human names in the history of the second major new surname production movement, to live for the first and last name for professional, formed the Chinese and foreign name origin is the second in common.

In our country, famous master dongguo, west door celebrate, evil city, thyme, xi and others, its name is due to live.In the west, from the place name of surnames in the first place.Such as the UK has a lake (lake), Water (Water), Green hill (mountain) Cliff (Cliff) surname, such as Germany have Berg (mountain) Buslh (jungle) Mr. Hamburger (Hamburg) such as name, are the places of their ancestors once lived for last name.In the east country such as Japan, India, the life phenomenon is not rare.Japan's common surnames "mountain pass, watanabe, gang village, mountain, inoue, tanabe, west village" surname, such as directly from the residence;India's first name is "prime minister Nehru", meaning "the people who live in the moat shore", because its ancestors lived beside the moat, by name.

Ancient and modern common surnames in China, jia (traders), bligh (division) wu (the witch), cable (line) and tao (potters), etc., are professional for the surname.This phenomenon is not uncommon in foreign countries.As Japanese smelting field, swine, cattle feeding, feeding surname, such as Hungary's Halasz (fishermen) Vadasz (the hunter), Kouacs (Smith) the surname, the British Butchev (butcher) Smith (Smith) Look (cook) Baker (bags) Coward (cattle) surname, such as mountain to the career of surnames.

By residence and occupation as the name, is the human consciousness of seeking the root of image display.Ancestral home is the birthplace of the family, the earliest ancestors of the profession also envisage like family, are family "root".This totem with surnames like is very similar.

The Chinese name, structure is all of one suit "+ name"., like guo moruo, Guo Weixing, foam if the name, and in foreign countries, the situation is more complex, like Europe and the United States and other western countries, usually behind the surname should be put in place, guo moruo wrote to spray if guo.Indo-european most of the nation, such as Britain, Germany, France, Italy, India, southeast Asia, Laos, Thailand, the Philippines countries are the names of patterns, like the English poet, Charles Dickens, "Charles" name, "dickens" is the family name.

Adopt the mode of country and nation, name the roots of identification methods are basically similar, such as Greece, Rome, Denmark, Russia and so on names system name is common in the parents or grandparents said child is appended to the name prefix or suffix, common prefixes are Mac, Ap, P and so on, ending a son, Scn, is, as, ias, vna, etc., as the British common surnames Waltson meaning "Walter's child", a famous Spanish writer Cervantes's full name is miguel DE Cervantes, savi Della, "miguel" is among them, "DE Cervantes" is the father's, "savi Della" is their mother's surname, simply put all the father, the mother surnamed in their name, don't worry about other people lose the name of active.
