Infographic: Most Exotic Mongolian Names For Your Child
The Mongols are a unique community of Central Asians known for their original steppe-dwelling lifestyle. Today, Mongolian culture is famous for its traditional arts, such as music, dance, and literature. Names in this language are descriptive and represent fearlessness, positivity, and brilliance. Find out some great ones in this infographic.Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the order of names in Mongolia?
The Mongolian naming system follows a specific pattern where the full name consists of the father's name followed by the given name. The father's name is presented genitive, often ending with -iin or -yn.
2. Are there any naming customs or traditions unique to Mongolian baby names?
Mongolians use a patronymic naming system, indicating lineage through the father rather than using given first names and family surnames. This explains why married couples, mothers, and children often have different last names. For example, if a Mongolian man named Joseph has a son named Michael, the child's full name would be Joseph's Michael. However, when translated to English, the names are reversed, resulting in Michael Joseph.
