	Chinese surname - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Chinese surname, also called a clan name or family name (Chinese: 姓; pinyin: xìng or 氏; shì), is one of the over seven hundred family names used by Han Chinese and Sinicized Chinese ethnic groups.
		There are family names with three or more characters, but those are extremely rare and are not ethnically Han Chinese, for example, Aixinjueluo (愛新覺羅, also romanized from the Manchu language as Aisin Gioro, which was the family name of the Manchu royal family of the Qing dynasty.
		As with the concentration of family names, this can also be explained statistically, as a person with an uncommon name could move to an unsettled area and leave this family name to large numbers of people.

	Clan - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A clan is a group of people united by kinship and descent, which is defined by perceived descent from a common ancestor.
		Still other clans are bilateral, consisting of all the descendants of the apical ancestor through both the male and female lines; the clans of Scotland are one example.
		Often, the distinguishing factor is that a clan is a smaller part of a larger society such as a tribe, a chiefdom, or a state.

	Korean name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its initial sound is an unaspirated voiceless bilabial stop, like a cross between English 'p' and 'b', and the name rhymes with the "bok" in bok choy, (the vowel is the IPA sound [a], typically pronounced as the 'a' in father).
		One of the two characters in a given name is unique to the individual and the other is shared by all people in a family of the same sex and generation, called the generation name.
		Family names were limited to kings and aristocrats at the beginning, but gradually spread to the commoners during the Goryeo and Joseon periods.

	Encyclopedia: Japanese name
		Common male name endings are -shi and -o; names ending with -shi are often verbs, e.g., Atsushi which might mean, for example, "to be faithful." In the past (before World War II), names written with katakana were common for women, but this trend seems to have lost favour.
		Rules also govern names considered to be inapproriate; for example, in 1993 two parents who tried to name their child Akuma (devil) were prohibited from doing so.
		Often, part of the name comes from the wrestler's master, a place name (such as the name of a province, a river, or a sea), the name of a weapon, an item identified with Japanese tradition (like a koto or nishiki), or a term indicating superiority.

	Mozi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The school did not survive the Qin Dynasty, and throughout both traditional and modern Chinese eras was viewed largely in historical terms rather than as a school of thought that was actively being developed.
		Mozi denounced offensive warfare, extravagant funerals, and music, and tried to replace Chinese family and clan structure with the concept of bo-ai which can be translated as "impartial caring" or "universal love".
		It may be that, because he was born into the lower classes (which seems to be established), he did not have ancestral or clan names.

		A Chinese surname, also called a clan name or family name (姓, pinyin: xìng; or 氏, shi), is one of the over seven hundred family names used by Han Chinese and Sinicized Chinese ethnic groups.
		The term "the hundred family names" (百姓 bai xìng) is colloquially used in Chinese to mean "the people" or "commoners".
		The reason for this is statistical—it is more likely that the father of a child will have a common family name than an uncommon name, so small differences are magnified over time.

		The name of the bear was likewise subject to a hunter’s taboo: the animal could not be mentioned by its real name on the hunt.

	Chinese name, Chinese names, Chinese surnames, Chinese translations
		The Chinese have had surnames long before the period of the Three Emperors and Five Kings, that is, during the time when recognition was given only to one's mother and not one's father.
		The surnames originated from the name of the village in which one live or the family to which one belonged, while the clan-name derived from the name of the territory or the title granted, sometimes posthumously, by the emperor to a noble for an achievement.
		In any solemn ceremony or important celebration, the Chinese have their clan-names written on lanterns which are hung high in a prominent place, such as the main entrance of the house.

		I am writing to let you know that we use the romanization of Chow as our last name, in America and outside of mainland China, and that we use this romanization as the standard romanization for all people who carry our last name.

		With clan and tribal terms eliminated, a name had to be picked from the two remaining choices (Saddam or Hussein), and Iraq's ruler endorsed the first.
		Virtually everyone in the region knows him by this name, not by "Hussein," and he encourages its use – cultivating a sort of Grand Uncle persona to go with some of his other roles, including Direct Descendant of the Prophet.
		Some westerners don't like the feeling that they're on a first name basis with Iraq's president, but others find it more logical than pretending to be on a first name basis with his dead father, Hussein – especially since "Saddam" is clearly the preference in Iraq and neighbouring countries.
