In Chinese mainland, Hongkong and Taiwan Province, married women often add their husbands' surnames before their first names, forming the format of "husbands' surnames+fathers' surnames+double names", such as Anson Chan and Rita Fan.
Some people say that the name format of married women is influenced by the English name structure. This statement is not accurate, because as early as ancient times, China aristocratic women had a traditional rule that their married names were "husband's surname" and "father's surname". If a woman surnamed Ji marries a man surnamed Kong, it is called "Kong Ji"; When a woman surnamed Jiang marries a man surnamed Zhao, she is called "Zhao Jiang".
Later, in the long feudal society of China, most women did not have a formal name, and the formal address format after marriage was "husband's surname+father's surname+surname". The name formats of married women in Hong Kong and Taiwan, such as "husband's surname" and "father's surname", come down in one continuous line with the name conventions in ancient China.
