Naming Traditions

Uniqueness of a Name

       Have readers ever had friends or idols from abroad? Maybe you are amazed by their name, or maybe vice versa. But, do you know that in various parts of the world there is a kind of rule in naming? Below I will explain the uniqueness of the names of people in two countries.

     
        The first to be discussed is the uniqueness of the Arabic name. unique Arabic name? What is unique from the Arabic name? Now, we discuss now. Unique Arabic name because he only has one word. Wow, one word? I wonder why? Arabic names only have one word because after that name the father's name will be followed. For example the name of his son was Abdullah and his father's name was Ibrahim. Then it is not written directly by Abdullah. But was written by abdullah bin ibrahim. but not there, sometimes it can be long to write the lineage. For example, Abdullah bin Ibrahim bin Asad bin Salman bin Zubair and so on. So we can understand here that the Arabs memorized the name of the previous teacher. Wow ... Great. We are Indonesian where memorized and certainly the name of an Indonesian is definitely more than one word. But keep in mind, for giving names to Arabs, they usually take their descent from their father's ancestry.  

         Earlier we discussed the names of Arabs, now we continue to discuss the names of Japanese people. Japanese names are no less unique than Arabic names. Why? Because he has the meaning of every word. Wow ... Now we just take the name, guys. for example, the name "Momo Kagesuki". Is it weird?
