Features: Names are universal, used by everyone every day, but the rich content they contain is not understood by everyone. This book revolves around the two central themes of surnames and naming, divided into four parts: "The Profound Wisdom in Names," "The Hundred Surnames from Ancient Times to the Present," "Naming a Newborn," and "Folklore and Fun of Names." It explores various aspects related to names, such as the knowledge behind names, the origins of the top 100 most common surnames in modern times, naming methods and principles, case analyses of characters used in naming, and the application of names in daily life. It combines knowledge, systematicity, scientific rigor, and readability. Upon its first publication, it was widely popular, and this revised edition has been significantly improved. It is truly a valuable reference book for enthusiasts of onomastic studies, as well as those seeking their roots and looking for names.
