姓名

姓名 refers to a person's full name, typically consisting of a surname followed by a given name. It is used in formal and official contexts to identify individuals uniquely.

The character 姓 (xìng) means 'surname' or 'family name,' while 名 (míng) means 'name' or 'given name.' Together, they form the term for a complete personal name, reflecting the traditional Chinese naming system where the family name comes first.

In daily life, 姓名 is commonly seen on documents, forms, and official records. It is important to note that in Chinese culture, the surname is often more significant in terms of family heritage and identity than the given name.
