The Mongolian people only have a "family surname" and do not have a "family surname" in the strict sense. They only have a "family surname" for tribes and clans. Very few Mongolians put their multi-syllable "surname" in front of their names. Gradually, many Mongolians have forgotten their "surname". Mongolian historians believe that since the era of Genghis Khan, especially since the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the practice of using tribal names as surnames has become widespread among Mongolians. Judging from the conclusions of Mongolian history and related surname research, there are mainly four types of "surnames" of the Mongolian people: First, the surname is based on the name of the tribe. In the description of Genghis Khan on the first page of the first volume of "History of the Yuan Dynasty", his surname is directly recorded as "Temujin, surnamed Qiwowen". "Qiwowen" is also written as "Qiyan", which is the name of the tribe to which Genghis Khan belonged. This is where the strange surname in today's Ordos region of Inner Mongolia comes from. The second is to use the name of the clan as the surname. Today, most of the Mongolians in Tongliao City and Xing'an League in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region have the surname "Bao". They are the descendants of Habtu Hassar, the second brother of Genghis Khan, and belong to the "Borjijin" clan. For convenience, descendants chose the clan name. The first surname is "Bao". The "Bor Zhijin" clan is a Mongolian gold family. Therefore, on important occasions, the descendants of this clan will proudly put the "family name" of "Bor Zhijin" before their names, such as "Bor Zhijin" ·Ulan". The third is to use the name of the ancestor as the surname. Mongolians like to take the names of their prominent ancestors as their surnames. Tuotuo, the prime minister of the ancient Yuan Dynasty, was originally from the surname "Mierjini", but his descendants took his name - "Tuotuo" as their surname, such as Tuotuo Ni in the Yuan Dynasty and Tuotuo Buhua in the Ming Dynasty. Fourth, the surname is based on a special name in history. For historical reasons, it is also common among the Mongolian people to use a special name as a surname. Mongolians have Han surnames. With the integration of ethnic groups and mutual cultural penetration, Mongolians began to give Tibetan names and Han names. Some Mongolians also used single surnames with Chinese characters, especially in areas close to the Han people. This phenomenon is more common. Another origin of the Chinese surnames of the Mongolian people is the translation of the multi-syllable surnames of the Mongolian people into Chinese surnames. For example: "Sirat" in Mongolian means yellow, translated as "Huang" surname; "Chagan" means white, translated as "White" surname; "Alatan" means gold, translated as "Gold" surname, etc. . Some people use homophonic Chinese characters as their surnames. For example, if the father's name is Buren, then the first character "Bu" of "Buren" will be used as the surname; if the father's name is "Hude", then the homophonic "" of the first character "Hude" will be used as the surname. "Hu" is the surname, etc. Some Mongolians directly use Han surnames. Mongolian naming customs: The characteristics of men’s naming include: 1. Naming based on national psychological habits, such as Timur, Geser, Bater, etc.; 2. Naming based on the expectations of the elders, such as: Jiya Saiyin (good luck), Ba Yaer (joy), Baiyin (rich), Jirigele (happiness), etc.; third, the baby is named according to the age of the elders when the baby is born, such as: Binta (fifty), Jirentai (sixty), Daleng (Seventy), etc.; 4. Named after brave animals such as: Shaobu (bird), Bala (tiger), China (wolf), Abersilang (lion), Bu Rigude (eagle) , etc.; 5. Name them according to the names of natural things, such as Chaolu (stone), Agula (mountain), Muren (river), Tara (field), etc.; Women: 1. Name them after bright stars, such as: Naren (sun), Saren (moon), Aodun (stars), Narengaowa (beautiful as the sun), Sarengaowa (beautiful as the moon), etc.; 2. Named after beautiful flowers, plants and trees such as: Sarilanghua (mountain flower), Qiqige (flower), Nabuqi (leaf), Begonia, etc.; third, named after jewelry and jade, such as: Haas (jade), Tana (pearl), Ala Tangaowa (beautiful as gold), etc.; 4. Named after ideals such as Siqin (smart), Wuyun (wisdom), Gaowa (beautiful), Siqingaowa (beautiful and intelligent), etc.; According to this method, Mongolia There are many types of women's names. The biggest feature of modern Mongolian names is that they do not have a name prefix, so it is just a name and should not be understood as a name. There are very few names with a surname prefix, but that is just an isolated phenomenon.< /p>
