So, Indonesia has many various about giving a name in every tribe, such as Bali, Batak, Ambon, Java, and others. One of that is Batak, from North Sumatra.

     China is part of Asia. China is almost like an Indonesia. China has many various about giving a name. There are two ways of give a name. first, surnames from their country is consist of 1-5 hanzi’s characters. Then, given a name is consist of 1-3 hanzi’s characters. Chinese will give their surnames in front of their children’s names. Their surnames are from their father’s names.
