Okinawan Name
Okinawan names ( Okinawan: /, ''nā'') today have only two components, the family names (surnames or last names) first and the given names last. Okinawan family names represent the distinct historical and cultural background of the islands which now comprise Okinawa Prefecture in Japan. Expatriates originally from Okinawa also have these names. Modern names As Japanese citizens, Okinawans today comply with the Japanese family register (''koseki'') system. Accordingly, an Okinawan name has only two components, a family name and a given name. A family name is called ''myōji'' (苗字 or 名字), ''uji'' (氏) or ''sei'' (姓), and a given name is called the "front name" (名前, ''namae'') or "lower name" (下の名前, ''shita no namae''). The family name precedes the given name. The given name may be referred to as the "lower name" because, in vertically-written Japanese, the given name appears under the family name. Japanese family names generally show regional variation, but ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
