If a Xinjiang person's name is kurban Reherman, kurban is his first name, Reherman is his last name and his father's first name, so there is no fixed surname in Xinjiang people's family.
It is formed by adding your real name to your father's name. There is no so-called surname, so we can't apply the surname of Han nationality to Uighurs. When people reach middle age, especially in old age, besides their real names and fathers' names, they often attach some appellations to express their identity and status.
Basic meaning:
It is said that in ancient times, babies were named by their fathers three months after birth, which is the origin of the ancient "names". In fact, in some areas of our country, the custom of naming babies during the full moon is still preserved, but the right to name babies is no longer borne by the father alone, but by the relatives of the babies.
Interestingly, in ancient times, when Han boys reached the age of 20, they had to hold a ceremony of "tying their hair and crowning" to show their adulthood, and then they had to choose words. When a girl 15 years old, a ceremony of "tying her hair and adding weight" will be held to show that she can get married. At this time, she also has to choose words. It can be seen that both men and women in ancient times had figures, such as Qiu Jin, a modern female revolutionary.
So what's the connection between ancient people's names and words? It is generally believed that there is a meaningful connection between the names and characters of the ancients. In one case, names and words have the same or similar meanings. For example, Qu Yuan, Ping Ming and Yuan Zhen.
