How did the names of Inner Mongolians come from?

It is mainly composed of "surname" and "first name", but their surnames are very different from those of Han people.

Mongolian surnames mainly come from four sources:

1. Take the tribal name or clan name as the surname.

For example, Genghis Khan's tribe belongs to Qiyuan Department, which translated from the Ming Dynasty as "begging for beauty". "Qiyuan" is the surname of Genghis Khan, and now all the odd surnames of Mongolian people in Ordos are taken from here.

2. Take the name of the ancestor as the surname.

For example, the descendants of Fougere Te, the agent of Prince Guoerluosi Qianqi in Beijing, take the first word "Fu" as their surname, and the father's name is Bu, and the father's name is "Hu" as their surname.

3. Take China's surname as the surname directly.

For example, use China surnames such as Wang, Li, Liu and Zhang directly.

And metal also means "strong". Many of them are named after metals, such as Aritan (gold), Fe-Mo (iron), Xirimo (pig iron), Baolidao (steel) and Tuka Fe-Mo (real iron).

The evolution of Mongolian surnames and names;

Since ancient times, Mongolian surnames and names have been changing, which is also a microcosm of Mongolian historical development.

In ancient times, Mongolian surnames were formed by adding special plural upgrade suffixes to clan or tribe names.

Since the Yuan Dynasty, with the unification of the whole country, the communication between Mongolian and Han nationality has become increasingly frequent. Many Mongolians began to use Han surnames and Han names, such as Zhou Shuhu, Li Duoer, Wei Saiyin and Zhao.

After the Ming Dynasty, the number of Mongolians who changed their Chinese surnames and names increased day by day, especially Mongolians who were scattered all over the country or in neighboring areas where the Han people lived in concentrated communities. For business and non-governmental exchanges, more Mongolians changed their Chinese surnames and Chinese names.

After that, the intermarriage between Mongolian and Han nationality increased day by day, and the folk trade became closer. Most of their children and descendants use Chinese surnames and first names, and some Mongolians directly use Chinese homonyms as surnames, such as sorkin or Borgit Banner for short, Bao for short, Qi Yan or Qi Wowen for short, and so on.

In modern times, with the development of society, it is very common for Mongolians to use Chinese names and learn English. Now young people in some developed cities in Inner Mongolia, you can't tell whether they are Mongolians by their names!
