Sample of Naming System notes Vietnamese There are only about twenty-five common family names in use
in Vietnam. Traditionally the family name comes first, then a two part personal
name although many people in the UK are now putting their family name last. Most
women take their husband’s personal name rather than his family name. Children
usually take their father’s family name. Siblings usually use kinship terms to
address each other. Names are often not gender specific. The middle name may be generational and shared by all of the siblings. In Vietnam, people may address each other as Mr/Mrs followed by the personal name so it is always worth recording which is which. Names Listing Format
