Скачать или смотреть Names With Meaning: From Native to English and Chinese (Part 3A)

In the earlier parts of this series, I explored Native American names — how they were lived, earned, and shaped by experience.

In this video, I continue that journey by looking at English and Chinese naming traditions. Where did these names come from? What did they originally mean? And why did meaning fade in some cultures, while enduring in others?

🎥 Part 3B coming soon
