Name, a Chinese word, means it consists of a surname and a first name. People's surnames are generally determined by their own tribes. Names are specific name symbols given to everyone to distinguish individuals, and they are signs to distinguish individual differences between people through language and written information. Because of names, human beings can communicate normally and orderly, so everyone has a name of their own.
Names didn't appear until after the language came into being, and all ethnic groups have many habits to determine people's names. This habit is restricted by many cultural factors such as history, society and nationality, and a person's name usually has a certain meaning.
