CN101 (2022 Fall) Chinese Names
Unlike English, the order of Chinese name is to put the Family Name first, and 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 (960-1279). It initially contained 411 surnames, and was later expanded to 504.
