1, French names are first and last names, which generally consist of two or three paragraphs. The first two sections are names, and the last section is surnames. Sometimes the names can reach four or five paragraphs, mostly Christian names and names given by elders. But now there are fewer and fewer long names. Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant was translated into Henri René Abel guy de maupassant, commonly known as Guy de Maupassant guy de maupassant.

2. There are 10,000 or 20,000 surnames in China, but there are more than 6,543,800 surnames in France with a population of more than 60 million, which is amazing. It is difficult for French people to distinguish by their first names, but it is much easier to distinguish by their surnames. The origin of French surnames comes not only from Gaul, but also from immigrants in different historical periods, as well as derived surnames and regional surnames formed by the integration of different nationalities. It is no exaggeration to say that French surnames are like a family code. If you know how to "decode", through them, you can even learn the information of French ancestors through history. Some French surnames indicate origin, such as Dupont and Dupont. These two surnames were originally used to address people who lived by the bridge. Dubois refers to people from the woods, Duma from the farm and castel from the castle. Other surnames can indicate occupation and status. For example, Chevalier refers to knight, Barbier refers to Schaefer and former French President Mitterrand, and this surname means surveyor.
