How did the title of the royal monarch of Europe come from? Is it named after a name? Why do so many monarchs like the same name?

Abroad, especially in Christian countries, people like to give their children some common names, such as Louis, Peter, John, Philip, Charlie, James and so on. In this way, kings or emperors of the same country and dynasty have the same surname and many duplicate names (for example, the Bourbon dynasty in France has a special liking for the name "Louis"). What do we do? We have to use "one, two, three ..." to distinguish them. As many as ten or twenty people named Louis like French kings have to be called "Louis I, II" ... Louis XIV, Louis XV, Louis XVI, Louis Stanislas Xavier and so on. Britain, Germany, Russia and other countries are similar to this. This is why many kings in western countries have the same name and are marked as I, II and III.

As for why Charles I's son was named James II instead of charles ii after his death, the reason is simple. The first name is not the last name. Father and son can take different names. In addition, grandparents and uncles can also take the same name, because it is easy to take those names again and again! Of course, according to the custom of China people, children and grandchildren should not say that they have the same name as their grandfather or father, or even have the same pronunciation. This is called "taboo", otherwise it is a big unfilial act, which shows one of the cultural differences between China and foreign countries.
