Why does the name Nguyen so popular in Vietnam? |
Travel Info What's so special about that name? nguyen van thiu nguyen kao kee nguyen dao den nguyen dwen dee Travel Tips In Vietnam, which has more than 70 million people, there are only 100 family names, with a handful that are found frequently. These include Le, Pham, Tran, Truong and especially Nguyen. Source(s): http://www.viet-nam.org/com-news/namevie... Other Travel Tips in Feudal, people alws take the surname of The King, and Nguyen is the last dynesty of VN feudal, so the surname ( not name ) Nguyen so popular nowaday In VN, if u see a name Nguyen Van A, so Nguyen is the family name, and Van A is the name, not like in US. I would like to answer this question with a question. Why is Jones and Smith so popular in the US? Answer....more Smith and Jones people came to the US than any other family. (I don't intend to sound like a wise guy, just adding a bit of humor.) However I agree that Dani Ng's answer sounds logical. I was in Viet Nam from "65to"67. There is a street in Saigon named Nguyen Hue. Nguyen Hue is pronounced " Wean Way". Nguyen Hue Street is (or was) referred to as the street of flowers because of so many flowers in the center of the sreet. . Nguyen Hue Street was lined with vendors selling their goods. Most of the articles that they sold were available in the PX and were still in the original packages. Some people would refer to this as theft. However most Viet Namese were extremely poor and made a living the only way they knew how. I was there. Because were asian got a problem and were cool! Wat happened 2 the name Huynh?! uhm, u should ask why the last name nguyen is so popular in Vietnam, not just the name, and some of the names u gave as examples are not real Vietnamese name, except the first one just many people from the Nguyen dynasty i guess |
