Tencent Sports June 17 The Icelandic team that brought the Viking Battle Roar to Russia had another wave of powder last night. Anyway, several people in my circle of friends vowed to go to Iceland to see the aurora. This Nordic country with a population of just over 300,000 made its debut in the World Cup, making powerful Messi and Argentina backstage emperors. But do you still remember that two years ago, Iceland advanced to the first game of the European Cup final for the first time, with a score of 1- 1, against Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal.
In addition to the totem-like Viking roar and simple but tough style, another impressive feature of the Icelandic team is the name of the team. Of the 23 players, 22 have surnames ending in "-son", which is a nightmare experience for the commentator, but ordinary fans are inexplicably happy. Director Haldorsen, Fenbogassen, who scored the first goal in history, and Sigerson, the biggest brand, relaxed their nerves after a busy week.
The Danish team, which also appeared on the third match day, lived up to expectations. With the goal of polson 1-0, we beat Peru and took the lead. In most people's memory, Denmark is a country of various kinds of "sen" However, when we opened the roster, we found that only 7 of the 23 players, including the core midfielder Eriksson, had surnames ending in "-sen". The same is true of Sweden, which will debut tomorrow night in Beijing time. Sen and Mazu only occupy 8 seats in the 23-member National People's Congress.
Although the languages of the three countries all belong to the northern branch of Germanic language family (Scandinavian branch), there are many similarities, but with the evolution of history, the nomenclature of each country has changed. Let's take these three Nordic divisions with good strength as examples to explore the secrets of their names.
Icelanders "named after their surnames" sounds very new, but it has a wide range of applications.
When Iceland became the dark horse of the European Cup two years ago, curious friends got an in-depth understanding of the country's peculiar way of generating surnames. Here is a brief introduction to this naming method called "father's surname": in Iceland, children do not take their father's surname, but use their father's surname with the corresponding suffix (son plus -sson, daughter plus -sdottir) to generate a new surname.
For example, if you can't play well, you have to go back to be the director's goalkeeper, Haldorsen. The father's name should be Jardo, and the child's surname should be hannis, with corresponding suffixes according to gender.
In other words, in most cases, the surnames of children and fathers are different; If two people have the same surname, it only means that their fathers have the same surname and may not be traced back to the same clan-although Iceland has only a population of more than 300,000.
For example, in this Icelandic team, the No.4 and No.7 midfielders are called Guzmü nsen, but their family backgrounds are quite different. No.4 Albert was born in a football family, and his parents are Icelandic international players. His great-grandfather not only played for AC Milan, Arsenal and other giants, but also became Iceland's finance minister after retiring. In contrast, although Jóhann moved to England with his parents since childhood, he didn't return to Iceland until he was 18 years old because he didn't adapt to life in a foreign country. Two years ago, he finally joined the newly promoted Burnley team and became a member of the Premier League. Of course, their children's surnames will not be the same.
Perhaps you have to ask, which Icelandic player is afraid to take the surname "Song", which has affected this uniform pattern? He is a substitute goalkeeper, 12 Shi Lamu. But it's no wonder that Shi Lamu's father is Danish and he was born in Denmark. There, "in the name of the father" is no longer used.
The naming system of "father's surname" just introduced has a century-old tradition in Denmark and Sweden, which can also explain the phenomenon that "Sen" and "Song" are the most common surnames in these two countries. But perhaps because of geographical isolation, this naming system has only been fully used in Iceland so far; In Denmark and Sweden, from the end of 18 to the beginning of 19, the government introduced laws one after another, which became a fixed pattern of "children take their father's surname". On the one hand, it is to keep up with international practice, on the other hand, it is to avoid the phenomenon of duplicate names.
Naming rules like Iceland sound novel, but they are common in the history of all countries in the world, but some have been abolished and some have changed their forms. Take English as an example, we can still see traces of this tradition in many common surnames-most surnames end in -son or start with Mc- and Mac-(such as Johnson, McDonald, etc. ) is such an example.
After the abolition of "naming after surnames", where will "Sen" and "Song" go?
Although 100 years ago adopted the model of "children take their father's surname", in Denmark and Sweden, surnames ending in "Sen" and "Song" still account for a large proportion of common surnames. Take Sweden as an example. Among the top 20 most commonly used surnames published in 20 12, 19 is still the product of -berg, which takes the father's name. The top three are Anderson, Johnson and Carlson, with the exception of Lindbergh, ranking 17.
Many famous Swedish sports celebrities adopt these traditional surnames, such as two famous players persson and Karlsson at the same time as Waldner, and Larsson, one of the greatest shooters in Swedish football history. Ljungberg, a former Arsenal star with the same surname as Lindbergh, is obviously taken from the place name. As for Ibrahimovic, the benchmark figure in Swedish football, his surname (Ibrahimovic) clearly shows that he is a descendant of Balkan immigrants, so the naming system is not discussed here.
190 1 year, Sweden officially passed the law and began to adopt the naming method of "children take their father's surname". Taking this opportunity, many families have chosen new surnames that have nothing to do with "Sen" and "Song". The most common place names are family origins (such as Strindberg), and the naming methods in the army (often brave, sharp, spear, shield, etc.). At that time, Swedish surnames began to become diversified, and more surnames without "Sen" and "Song" entered people's daily lives.
The situation in Denmark is basically similar to that in Sweden. At present, among the 20 most commonly used surnames in China, only Muller has nothing to do with Sen and Song. From 1856 to 20 15, Denmark promulgated and revised the Naming Law five times, which made the inheritance of surnames more standardized.
Since Denmark is the closest to the European continent among the Nordic countries, the influx of immigrants has also made our list of surnames more diversified. For example, Delaney, on the 8th this year, has always used this typical British surname because his grandfather is an American. On the 23rd, Sisto's full name is Pione Sisto Ifolo Emirmija. His name sounds very African, and he does come from an immigrant family with Sudanese and Ugandan descent. However, what is more deceptive is cornelius (2 1). It is easy to mistake this surname for Greek or Lithuanian descent, but he is a native of Denmark, and this surname comes from the Latin "cornu".
Having said the last name, let's briefly talk about the first name. Unlike Iceland, Sweden and Denmark still have royal families, so they are strictly controlled in naming. Swedish law prohibits citizens of non-aristocratic families from using aristocratic names, and also highlights five words that can never be used as personal names, namely Metallica (Metal Band), Superman (Superman), Ikea (IKEA), Elvis (Elvis Presley) and BRFXCXXXMnCCLmmNLMLMCKSQLB1KLOC-0/65438. In Denmark, the government has only published a dictionary of legal nomenclature with more than 7,000 choices. If you want to give your child a name outside the thesaurus, you need to submit it to the relevant department for review, and the probability of failure is as high as 20%.
Finally, the Swedish Academy of Science published a so-called "birth date-name correspondence table" on 200 1 (link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish _ name _ date _ list _ of _ 200 1), which will have 365 days in a year (200 1). It is the most convenient way for friends who want to give themselves a Swedish name but can't start.
