CN101 (2018 Fall) Chinese Names
Unlike English, Chinese names put the Family Name first, then comes with the Given Name. Modern Chinese names consist of a monosyllabic surname pronounced as xìng (姓) , followed by a mono- or disyllabic personal name pronounced as míng (名). The Hundred Family Surnames (Chinese: 百家姓; pinyin: Bǎijiāxìng) is a classic Chinese text composed of common Chinese surnames. The book was composed in the early Song Dynasty. It originally contained 411 surnames, and was later expanded to 504.
