Naming conventions in pre-Classical China were vastly different from those of modern times. Instead of simply using “first names” (名字) and “last names” (姓氏), people employed a complex system of “lineage names” (姓), “clan names” (氏), “birth names” (名), and “style names” (字) for different contexts — with distinct customs and word orders for men and women. Learn why Confucius bore a different family name from his father, and why “Sun” is not actually the surname of “Sun Tzu”.
