The Origin of Fuxin Mongolian Sea

Many people, including a few Mongolians, think that Mongolians have no surnames. Actually, they didn't! Every Mongolian has his own surname. Some take tribal names as surnames, some take occupations as surnames, some take mountains and rivers as surnames, and so on. After the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols gradually weakened in the long historical changes. During this period, most other Mongolian tribes gradually merged into China culture. In the long-term exchanges, especially in the late Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian government declined and the Mongols turned from the Han nationality.

From the conclusion of modern Mongolian historiography and surname research, there are five main types of Mongolian surnames:

One is to take tribal names as surnames, such as Wu surname, Qi surname and Yun surname.

The second is to take the name of the clan as the surname, such as Bao surname.

The third is to take a special name in history as the surname. For example, when the ancient Mongols went out to war, the family members who stayed behind were called "Oulu", so these family members took "Oulu" as their surname. Later generations changed their surname to "Ao".

Fourth, take the ancestral name as the surname, such as the surname of Mo. After the homophone is recorded as "Meng".

Fifth, take China's surname directly, such as Li and Bai. The indigenous Mongolians in Xing 'an area are all descendants of Habu Tuhar, the second brother of Genghis Khan, and they are Borzijit, that is, Bao. Among the Mongolians in Xing 'an today, Bao and Bai are the majority.

When Mongolian people in Xing 'an League name babies, there are eight main situations:

One is named after heroes in Mongolian history, such as Timur and Kangxi.

Second, they are named after the expectations and wishes of their elders or things that symbolize their children's fate, such as Bajard (exultation), Batu (fortitude), Bai Yin (wealth), Hu Jiya (the fate of his son) and Duda Gula (with his younger brother).

Third, they are named after the flowers, birds and beasts in the sun, moon, Na Ren (the sun), Saren (the moon), Ziggy (the flower), Ziggy (the stamen), Alsron (the lion), barrs (the tiger), Golden Pigeon and Lu Mei.

The fourth type is named after the grandfather's age or birth month when the baby was born, such as Yinna Station (90), Jiren Station (60), the first month and March. Some are addressed directly in Chinese, such as seventy-two, fifty-eight, etc.

Fifth, they were named after the social names recognized by ancient Mongols, such as Bater (warrior or knight) and Bileg (wise man).

Sixth, they are named after precious metals or jewels, such as alatan (gold), Meng He (silver), Tana (pearl) and Hasen (jade).

Seventh, take Tibetan names, mostly from lamas, such as Nima, Renqin and Sanbu.

Eight is to take Chinese names, and some Mongolians add surnames before their names, such as Jin Buhe and Han Wuliji. It is common for Mongolians to change their Han surnames in Xing 'an, including Li, Wang, Zhang and Bai. There are also people who take Chinese names directly.

Mongolian first name and surname:

Mongolians only have "family name", not in the strict sense, but in tribes and clans. Few Mongolians put polysyllabic surnames before their names. Gradually, many Mongolians have forgotten their surnames. Mongolian historians believe that since the Genghis Khan era, especially since the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, it has become popular for Mongolians to take tribal names as surnames. From the conclusion of Mongolian historiography and surname research, there are four main situations of Mongolian "family surname":

One is to take the tribal name as the surname. In the account of Genghis Khan on the first page of the first volume of Yuan History, it is directly recorded that his surname is "Temujin, and his surname is Chiwowen". "Qiwo Wen" is also written as "Qiyan", which is the name of the tribe to which Genghis Khan belongs. Today, the odd surname in Erdos area of Inner Mongolia comes from this.

The second is to take the name of the clan as the surname. At present, the Mongolians in Tongliao City and Xing 'an League in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region are mostly protecting their families. They are descendants of Habu Tuhar, the second brother of Genghis Khan, and belong to the "Borziggitkin" clan. For convenience, later generations took the family name prefix as the surname, that is, Bao. The Borjijin clan is a Mongolian gold family. Therefore, the descendants of this clan will proudly put "Borjijin" before their names on important occasions, such as "borghi Jinwulan".

The third is to take the ancestors' names as surnames. Mongolians like to take the names of prominent ancestors as their surnames. The prime minister of ancient Yuan Dynasty was originally a surname of "Meiere Jixiang", but his descendants took his name-"Tuotuo" as their surname, such as Ni in Yuan Dynasty and Buhua in Ming Dynasty.

The fourth is to take the special name in history as the surname. Due to historical reasons, it is also common for Mongolians to take a special title as their surnames. With the national integration and cultural infiltration, Mongolians began to adopt Tibetan names and Han names, and some Mongolians changed their surnames into Chinese characters, which is more common, especially in areas near the Han nationality. Another source of Mongolian Chinese surnames is the semantic translation of Mongolian polysyllabic surnames into Chinese surnames. For example, Mongolian "Sila" means Huang, which is translated into "Huang" surname; "Chagan" means white, translated as "white" surname; "alatan" means Jin, translated into "Jin" surname, etc. Others take homophonic Chinese characters as their surnames. For example, the father's name is Buren, and he takes the first word "Buren" as his surname; If the father's name is, take the homophonic "Hu" as the surname. Some Mongolians use China's surname directly.

Mongolian naming custom:

The characteristics of male naming are as follows: 1. Named according to national psychological habits, such as Timur, Geser and Bater; Second, according to the expectations of elders, such as: Jiya Saiyin (good luck), Bajad (joy), Baiyin (abundance), Jiri Gele (happiness) and so on. Third, according to the age of the elders when the baby is born, such as Binta (50), Jirentai (60) and Daleng (70); Fourth, they are named after brave animals, such as Shaobu (bird), Bala (tiger), Hua (wolf), Abrand (lion) and Buzigude (eagle). 5. Name things according to their natural names, such as Lu Chao (Stone), Agra (Mountain), Mu Ren (River) and Tara (Yuan Ye).

Female: First, in the name of bright stars, such as Na Ren (the sun), Saren (the moon), Auden (the star), Na Ren Gao Wa (the sun is beautiful) and Saren Gao Wa (the moon is beautiful). Second, take the beautiful flowers and trees as names, such as Sarilang flower (Shandan flower), Qige (flower), Nabuqi (leaf), Haitang and so on. Third, in the name of jewelry and jade, such as Haas (jade), Tana (pearl), alatan Gao Wa (beautiful as gold) and so on. Fourth, in the name of ideals, such as Qin Si (smart), Wuyun (smart), Gao Wa (beautiful) and Gaowa Siqin (beautiful and smart). According to this method, Mongolian women's names can be divided into many kinds. The biggest feature of modern Mongolian names is that they have no name prefix, so they are just names and should not be understood as names. There are very few people with prefix, which is only an individual phenomenon.
