Referencearrow.png Main Article: Khusqaian Names

This is a list of common Chinese characters, their pronunciation, and their meaning in Khusqaian personal names. The last four columns in the table show in what kinds of names these characters appear: m = men's given names; f = women's given names; b = Buddhist monks' or nuns' given names; s = surnames. Note that surnames always consist of a single character (except in the case of monks and nuns), and that given names always consist of two characters. Vowel harmony and other phonotactical effects often changes the ending of the first part of (the pronunciation and writing of) the name and the vowels in the second part. (See below for a summary.)
