Features: Everyone has a name and uses it every day, but the rich content it contains is not understood by everyone. This book revolves around the themes of surnames and naming, divided into four parts: "A wealth of knowledge in names," "Famous surnames from ancient times to the present," "Naming a child," and "Folk interesting naming." It explores various aspects related to names, such as the origins of the top 100 most common surnames in the modern era, naming methods and principles, case analyses of characters used in naming, and the application of names in daily life.
