First name middle name last name chinese. Since names in china and other cultures put the family name before the given name first and last name don t make sense here anymore though i find that many people in cultures with reversed first name last name are aware of that. Traditionally chinese names consisted of three characters the surname followed by a two character given name ming which is not separated into a first and middle name in usage two character given names follow a naming tradition in which the first character of the given name and thus the second character in the three character full name indicates the person s generation in his her family. Most chinese characters have a meaning that can be translated into english but chinese names are often not fully translatable. The family name is the first character and the remaining two characters are the given name.
