How Mongolian people name their children

It is also a very grand thing for the Mongolian people to name their babies. When a baby is born, it is given a name. Generally, families are named after the most respected elder. Before liberation, families who believed in Lamaism also asked lamas to teach their children names. Mongolian baby names can be roughly divided into the following categories: 1. Named after animals, such as Boltechena and Huaima Lal (Green Wolf and White Deer) in "The Secret History of Mongolia", and Hu and Lu to this day. and Chaganbari (blue dragon and white tiger), etc.; ② named after mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, sun, moon and stars, such as Dalai, Agula, Sahong, Aditya, Somyabimba, etc.; ③ named after parents or elders in the family. If the child is born a girl and the elders hope to have a younger brother, they will name Hudakula (bringing up a child), Dutai (recruiting a younger brother), and if they want the child to become a hero, they will name him Battelle, Mangli, etc. The name can only reflect the social fashion of a certain historical period. Nowadays, among the elderly, those named Huhelu and Chaganbari (Mongolian), Hafenga and Huturongga (Manchu); and those named Guanbo Dorji, Sudanamu and Aoqier (Tibetan), Most of them were born before liberation. For example, the above-mentioned Mongolian names are names given by the elders in the family according to the traditional customs of the Mongolian people. Manchu names are names influenced by the Manchu people since the Qing Dynasty. As for the Tibetan names, most of them have Buddhist overtones. They were named by lamas before liberation. A name is just a symbol of a person. However, the Mongolian people are not so careless. When a new life is born, young parents always want to give their child a satisfactory name. There is actually a cultural psychology behind the name. Therefore, when naming a child, the cultural psychology and customs of the nation regulate people like an invisible rule. For example, no one will let a word with an unlucky meaning be used as a child's name. Secondly, parents usually use a certain elegant character in their children's names to express good wishes. Names such as Wuyun Qiqige (Flower of Wisdom), Siqingerile (Light of Wisdom), Gilgrad Saihan (Happiness), Nashun Urtu (Longevity), etc. are all popular names among people. . After the founding of New China, this situation has changed a lot. People like to use beautiful and innovative Mongolian names. Such as Abdul Qinfu (little horseherd), Kachinfu (hunter), Malaqinfu (little shepherd boy), Suzina (studious), Uzhina (smart girl), Gaowa (handsome) and so on. Of course, there are many people who name them in Chinese, but most of them are Mongolian-Chinese puns, such as jade pillars and golden stakes. In Mongolian, they are called Hasbagan and Jilatanbogen.
