Names, kinship terms, titles, and terms of address

In the traditional naming process, the first character of a given name is a generational name: all children in the family who are of the same gender and in the same generation share the same first character in their given name. The second character reflects some other positive characteristic. Thus, brothers might be named Yì Háo (talent) and Yì Qiáng (strength). Sisters might be named / Ymng Yí (joyful) and / Ymng Mli (beautiful).
