Character Breakdown

Understanding 姓名

The word 姓名 (xìngmíng) refers to a person's full name, combining both the family name () and the given name (). It is commonly used in formal contexts such as official documents, forms, and introductions.

Usage in Daily Life

When asked for your 姓名, you should provide both your surname and given name. For example, in registration forms or official paperwork, 姓名 is the standard term used to request your full name.

Common Collocations

  • 填写姓名 (tiánxiě xìngmíng): to fill in one's full name, often seen on forms.
  • 姓名联系方式 (xìngmíng hé liánxì fāngshì): full name and contact information, a common phrase in applications or registrations.
  • 姓名 (xìngmíng páixù): name order or sorting by name, used in lists or rosters.

Tips

Avoid confusing 姓名 with just (family name) or (given name). 姓名 always means the full name. In casual conversation, people might just ask for 名字 (name), but 姓名 is more formal and precise.

When writing or speaking formally, 姓名 is the preferred term to ensure clarity and politeness.

Example Sentences
