suffix

In English, the family name is often called the last name, and the given name is often called the first name. However, the order of the two names is not the same everywhere. For example, in many Asian countries, the family name is the first and the given name is second. When people from different cultures meet, sometimes they use the incorrect name. When this happens it can be very embarrassing.

Italics are just as important as bold word. When reading, do not only pay attention to bold words. Notice the italics too!

What is the origin of family names?

Many come from the name of a place, like London, or a job, such as Farmer or Shoemaker. In some countries, there are many different family names. In other countries, there are only a few. In South Korea, there are only about 250 family names. About half of all Koreans have one of the three most common family names – Kim, Park or Lee. This can cause problems, because most Koreans believe you should not marry a person with the same last name. This means Koreans must be careful whom they fall in love with!
