WHAT’S YOUR NAME – AND WHY? (HUR VAR NAMNET?: NAMNTRADITIONER FRAN ALLA TIDER OCH PLATSER)
Book ID/图书代码： 00250124C00008
English Summary/英文概要： What is the story behind your name? In fact, why do you have a name at all? Sverker
Johansson tells you. With an eye to evolutionary history as well as specific unusual examples, he ranges across time and space to capture the diversity of naming traditions.
Depending on where we end up in time and space, a name can be determined based on the day of the week, ancestors, which evil spirits need to be tricked or what the mother sees when the child is born. In addition to first names, we can have surnames – but also parents’ names, farm names, village names, children’s names, caste names, middle names, generational names or nicknames based on everything from complexion via professions to television programs. Did you know, for example, that Caligula means baby boots, that John is the most common first name on Wikipedia, that dolphins have name melodies and that Mao Zedong’s middle name Ze comes from a poem from which his family for fourteen generations took their names?
“This historical tour is both educational and well-executed.” – Fokus
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 你的名字背后有什么故事？你为什么有名字？斯韦尔克约翰逊 Sverker Johansson 会在这本书里面一一回答。着眼于进化历史以及具体的不寻常例子，约翰逊跨越时间和空间来了解人类命名传统的多样性。
根据我们在时间和空间上的最终位置，可以根据星期几、祖先、需要欺骗哪些邪灵或母亲在孩子出生时看到的东西来确定名字。除了名字之外，我们还可以有姓氏——还可以有父母的名字、农场的名字、村庄的名字、孩子的名字、种姓、中间名、辈分或昵称，这些昵称的基础包括从肤色、职业到电视节目等各种内容。例如，您是否知道卡利古拉的意思是婴儿靴、约翰是维基百科上最常见的名字、海豚的名字是有旋律的、毛泽东的中间名“泽”来自一首诗，他的家族十四代人的名字都取自这首诗？
“这次历史之旅既具有教育意义，又执行得很好。” – 福克斯(Wendy)
