A Comparative Study on Name Culture between China and Western Countries

Abstract

Most people think that name is a distinguishable mark between one and others. Its just a salutation of someone. In fact, as a unique social offspring, name bears a close link to its culture, and seems inseparable from the understanding of such information as a nation’s history, language, religion and customs. Thus, we should pay more attention to the difference of name culture in cross-cultural communication. This essay makes a close study of names in many countries. First of all, it examines the culture background in different countries. Then it focuses on the cultural influence on naming from form, time of appearance, origin, and usage. Finally, the article concludes that a comparative study of name culture does work effectively in cross-cultural communication. This article takes the name structure, the surname origin as well as the naming way of the Chinese (Han nationality) and the English and Americans for an example to discuss this question.

Key Words: culture; name culture; cultural influence; cross-cultural
