What are the surnames and first names of Tibetans?

1. Tibetan surnames are called "Rui" and "Japan". "Sharp" is bone and blood, "day" is a family line, and together they are surnames, which is the title of the family system.

Tibetan names are generally four words, such as Tashi Dhondup and Tashi Cairen. The name of a celebrity can be preceded by the name of the house or position, and can also be preceded by the place name of his native place. For example, Dabaojie, the founder of the Kagyu Sect, was named after building a temple in Dabao; Zong Kaba, the founder of the Gelug Sect of Buddhism, whose real name is Lausanne Zhahua, is the name of his hometown, Huangshui River Basin in Qinghai Province. The word "Ba" means human beings, which means Zongka people. At present, many Chinese documents only write about Zong Kaba, but not about Lausanne Zahua.

2. In matriarchal society, Tibetans took a word from their mother's name as part of their own name. Like the mother's name is "Lang Momo" and the son's name is "Mohji"; The mother's name is "Suo Tang Tang" and the son's name is "Suochi"; Mother's new name is "Dalaogam", son's name is "Dachi", and so on. At this time, Tibetan names have no surnames.

3. Tibetan names are generally different for men and women. The first two words are unisex, and the last two words distinguish men from women.

The last two words are Luo Rong, Tashi, Duoji, Ma Xia, Dengzhu, Qupi, Jiangyang, Jiangcuo, Baden and Pengcuo, all male names; The last two words are Ma Zhi, Ram, La Zhong, La Cuo, Yong Zhong, Qu Cuo, Yong Qing, Qu Zhen, Mai Duo and so on.

4. The meaning of Tibetan names includes many aspects, with rich connotations, mainly Buddhist culture.

The connotations of names include borrowing Buddhist names such as Sanjie, protecting Buddhist names such as Kampot, immortal names such as Zhuo Ma and Buddhist scriptures such as Dodd and Duwa. There are names that promote Buddhism or Buddhist terms, such as Tudennyima (meaning Buddhism and the sun), Danbadajie (promoting Buddhism), Subname (observing precepts), Kimba (giving), Gengque (three treasures) and Xirao (wisdom).

However, there are also names based on the child's birth time, such as "Mima" (Tuesday) and "Erju" (day 10). Or named after natural objects, such as Dawa (Moon), Mei Duo (Flower) and Sanger (Lion); Pray for glory, such as "Tsering" (longevity) and "Qi Mei" (immortality); Some people pray to have a boy next time, such as "Butch" and "Buzhen".

5. Tibetan names are mostly unisex.

Such as Dawa, Nima, Basang, Tashi and Ge Sang. But there are some strict differences.

Only women, such as: Mu Wang, Zhuo Ma, Zhuoga, Jin Yang, Slim, Qu Zhen, La Zhen, Ram, Lord Cang (Mu), etc.

Only for men, such as Kampot, Pazhuo, Dunzhu, Dorje, Jinmei, Wangdui, Zhu Jie, Luo Zhui, Zhandui and so on. Among the Tibetans in Qinghai and the people in northern Tibet, due to the differences in local phonetics, names that were originally four words appeared. When you say it quickly, it becomes three words, such as "Renqingcuo", which should be "Renqingcuom". Because they spoke quickly, the latter word was omitted.
