The first is the family name, which is in almost all cases one syllable (i.e., word, or morph) long.
With two-syllable given names, usually the first syllable of the given name is given to all the children in a generation, so it is the final syllable which is the name conferred upon an individual child.

 NOMENCLATURE and the VAN WINKLE NAME
The method of naming by Patronymic was in vogue in Holland from very early times; the surname not coming into general use until the 16th or 17th century, and the termination s, se, sen, or gen was added and became for the time being, the Patronymic, thus indicating the line of descent.
Dutch naming customs usually meant that the first-born son was named after his paternal grandfather, the next after the father, while the third was named after the maternal grandfather.
Whereas a first son's name would usually be the reverse of his father's, the constancy of the wife's name during her lifetime has made tracing early families much easier.

 Altaic Language Family
The status of Korean and Japanese as members of the Altaic language family is particularly debatable.
For instance, they all share one common feature, namely vowel harmony, a type of phonological process that imposes constraints on which vowels may be found near each other in a word.

 Honorifics and family titles
When addressing a person in Japan, it is customary to affix the honorific suffix -san after the person's name (usually the surname, but it can also be attached to the given name of a person one knows well and is on a casual level with).
Japanese use different words to indicate whether they are talking about a member of their own family or someone else's.
The words used for another person's family are more polite, and can refer to the person being addressed or to some other person to show respect.
