Vietnamese first last name

In Vietnam, when naming each person are affixed with Full Name. So they are an integral part of our name. Usually Last Name + Middle Name + First Name, for example: Do Van Thao, Nguyen Minh Thien, Ha Thi Thanh.

Common Vietnamese last names

Include last names of people of the Vietnamese ethnic group. Vietnam is located in Indochina, so it is influenced by culture from China and other countries of India or the Cham people.

However, last names of Vietnamese people are not as much as China or other big countries. Most of the large families in Vietnam have a dynasty in the history of this country.
