I mean the order. still the given name comes last like other Chinese names ? what about Maimaitituersun Qiong and other guy Aihemaiti Maimaiti ? Of course not, we respect the names of such minority people. Given name is the first. MHSN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Tuohetaerbieke, Maimaitituersun and Aihemaiti. It's the correct way to call them. But in reality, it's too long for most people, we can call" Bro Tuo" or " Small Bieke". I always think we know each other on some Chinese social platforms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,347 Posted March 11, 2020 #143 Share Posted March 11, 2020 thanks guys, even though that was a big load of information for me to handle just to make sure you didn't waste your time to educate me , for the rest of China it's surname + given name . but for those minorities it's given name + father name ? but they are mostly known just by their given names, right ? and the proper way to write their name is Tuohetaerbieke Tanglatihan, Maimaitituersun Qiong and Aihemaiti Maimaiti ? one last question, there is a Chinese female wrestler called simply Paliha. are there people in China with just one name ? btw naming system was also different and confusing in Iran long time ago but something like 100 years ago, the former dictator of Iran decided to force people to follow the western naming system. everybody had to pick a surname.

The names of many ethnic minorities in China are one, but Paliha is a Uighur. MHSN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
