==Surnames== | |||
Cambodian names usually consist of two elements including a '''patronymic, which serves as a common family name for siblings, followed by a given name'''. | |||
*Traditionally, the Khmer do not have Western-style family names shared by multiple generations or entire families. Instead, '''Khmer children use their father's given name as their family name'''. | |||
*Women keep their maiden names after marriage. | |||
*Different naming traditions exist among ethnic groups other than the Khmer majority. The Cambodian population is 90% Buddhist and '''names are often taken from Buddhism'''. | |||
*Among the '''Muslim minority, Arabic names''' are often used as family names. | |||
==Given Names== | |||
Generally, women are given names relating to beauty, while men are given names of virtues.Some Cambodian given names are unisex names. | |||
