取名文化
知多少
中国人的名字体现了父母对孩子的期望,采用姓+名的形式,一般用1-2个字,如岳云鹏
还会根据辈分的不同在某一个字上体现出来,如岳云鹏,张云雷,刘云天等云字辈
而且为了尊重长辈,后辈不能与长辈重名。
那你知道西方取名字的特点吗?
西方人的名字来源多与古希腊古罗马神话中的人物相关,采取名+姓的形式,如George Alexander Luois
我知道Alexander是身强体壮的希腊男子形象
是的,Alexander取自女王姓名,他们会用重名表达对先辈的尊敬和对后代的期望,如George是为了向女王父亲乔治六世致敬。
我知道了,那Luois就是英国王子的姓氏了,是取自父亲名字的一部分,
是的,现在你对中西方取名字的差异有了解了吗?
了解了,现在我们来试试吧!
