Chinese name

Hi there little one! Today, let's talk about Chinese names. Just like how you have a name that your family and friends call you, people in China also have their own names.

One thing that's different is that Chinese people usually have three names - a family name, a middle name, and a given name. The family name is the last name that is passed down from their parents and is shared with their siblings and other family members.

The middle name is called a "generational name" and is given to both boys and girls in the family who have the same generation. For example, if your dad's middle name is "Ming", then your middle name may also be "Ming" because you're in the same generation as him.

Lastly, the given name is the unique name that is chosen by the parents for their child. It can have a lot of meanings and can be chosen based on things like what the parents wish for their child or what's happening in the world at that time.

In Chinese culture, the family name is usually said first and the given name last. So, if someone's name is Li Min Ji, "Li" is their family name and "Min Ji" is their given name.

Overall, Chinese names are a little different than what you're used to, but they're just as special and important to the people who have them.
