The meaning of Jiang Yang;

Some parents reflect their feelings on their children's names. If parents think that there are too many children and want to terminate childbearing, they will name their children "Cangcun", "Poor" and "Minimum". If parents want to have a boy, they will name their newborn daughter "Butch" and "Bring a boy". Parents will name their children "Tsering" and "Longevity" in order to make them live longer. If parents are old and think that it is impossible to have another child in the future, or if the child is hard-won and has died a lot in front, they will name the child "lazy", "beautiful as a fairy", "Rob" and "meaning baby". Some parents give their children names casually, for example, "Qijia", in order to make their children's life easier.
For the above reasons, there are many Tibetan names with the same name, such as Tsering, Danba and Basang. In order to distinguish, people make some differences before their names.
One is the increase, medium and small before the name, such as Dabasang, Zhongbasang and Xiaopingcuo.
One is to add the names of people from different places to the names. For example, "poor heap" and "Yadong" in "poor heap" and "Yadong" are all place names. For example, Renbu and Duilong in Renbu Duoji and Duilong Duoji are all place names.
One is to distinguish people's physiological characteristics by their names.
Ge Sang Sok abducted Ge Sang one by one, and Tashi Bazaar pitted Tashi one by one; Guo Qin, Danba —— Big-headed Danba and Dorje Xia passed by Dorje, a blind man.
The other is to distinguish names by occupation, such as:
Ma Qin Er Dan-Chef Er Dan;
Xing suo Qiang ba-carpenter Qiang ba
There are also gender and age to distinguish, for example, the same "Dawa", male named Pudawa, female named Pudawa; For another example, adults and children are called Tashi, so the difference between old and young can be called "Bozhaxi", "Abba Tashi", "Puzhaxi" and "Child Tashi". Jin Yang the Frog, Jin Yang the Old Lady, Pumujinyang and Jin Yang the Girl.
After liberation, with the change of people's political life, there are some new contents in naming people's names, such as:
Zhu Jin Liberation, Malaysian Red Flag, Deji Mei Duo Happiness Flower.
In Sichuan, Qinghai, Gannan, Qamdo and other places in Tibet, due to the influence of Han surnames on Tibetan-Chinese intermarriage, surnames with both Chinese surnames and Tibetan surnames have appeared, such as Zhang Wang Dui, Li Cijia, Chen Mingxuan and Zhao Renzeng.
Tibetan names are mostly unisex, such as Dawa, Nima, Basang, Tashi and Ge Sang. However, some of them are strictly differentiated and only used by women, such as Mu Wang, Zhuo Ma, Zhuoga, Jin Yang, Slim, Qu Zhen, La Zhen, Ram, and Cang (Mu) Jue.
