WE WANT YOU TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MONGOLIA
(continuation)
They are often made up of two words, such as Sarantuya (moon and light), Narantsetseg (sun and flower), Mongontsetseg (silver and flower), Enkhtuya (light and peace).
These vividly reflect the thinking and tastes of the people of the new Mongolia. Young parents seem often to want to give their children more purely Mongolian names to bear.
Names now often use geographical features (Altai, Khangai, Orkhon, Tuul, Tamir, Selenge) or the names of mountains like Bayanmonkh or Elbrus. Of course, Mongolians, like every other child in the world, accept as a matter of course the names their parents have given them.
However, some words are still used deliberately as a name of respect. For example, the suffix 'guai' is added to a name when speaking to a senior or important person. While Mongolians usually use only one name, they also refer to their father with a second name in the possessive case with the ending iin.
