This question will frustrate you to death and also frustrate many people who want to score points.
Charlie, "James" and "Louis" are all the names of monarchs. When the first one becomes king, he is called the first.
The original poster has another question. You have made a mistake. The eldest son cannot have the same name as his father, not all sons.
The naming of European princes and princesses was very strict in the Middle Ages, especially in the French court.
The eldest son often has the same name as his grandfather. The daughter is often named after her grandmother, the second son is named after his father, and the second daughter is named after his mother to show respect. For example, the eldest son of Philip II Augustus, Louis VIII, has the same name as his father, Louis VII; The eldest son, the Dauphin Philip, has the same name as Philip II, the second son Louis IX has the same name as his father, and the eldest daughter of James II, Mary II, has the same name as her grandmother, Queen Henrietta Mary, and the second daughter, Anne, has the same name as her mother. Queen Anne Hyde has the same name. However, this custom has gradually faded away after the Middle Ages. Giving a child the same name as a relative is nothing more than a sign of respect or commemoration.
Let’s talk about the origin of European names.
It is roughly divided into four categories.
The first category is those who inherit the name of their parents or grandparents and are marked as the son of someone, such as Johnson, which is the son of John (the word can be broken down into John-son). ), translated into Chinese as Johnson
The second category is determined by residence, for example, Brooks (brooks)
The third category is determined by occupation, for example. Leif ("Drivers", livestock drivers)
The fourth category includes some families from outside the country, such as Fleming (Flemish), French (French) ), Holland (Holland).
Finally, what does Charlie mean?
Europeans’ names are as symbolic as those in China.
p>For example, "Charlie" is a male name, which is the nickname of "Charles".
It originated from the German name "Karl", which means masculine and warrior.
The king wants to be like a warrior. Because he was the first king, he was called Charles I. In order to respect the elders of the family, the successors were called II and so on for several generations.
The name Louis of France has a long-lasting meaning. Maybe it’s because I hope I can live longer
