Chinese Names is in the must-read category. It is a compilation of the latest work on the meanings of every Chinese Surname and common personal name. It is difficult to generalize the application of the names because the world's Chinese population is made up of diverse customs and cultures blended with local traditions and idiosyncrasies so peculiar to the homelands which they have adopted. But the Chinese are conservative in nature and beneath the changes can be found many undercurrents of customs which persist and if they can be identified, will repay the time devoted to their study.
