The New Approach to TIBETAN NAMES

<正>To differentiate it from the common name"Tseten Dekyi"(a Tibetan name,meaning longevity and happiness)the 30-year-old Drolkar gave her baby girl the name"Tseten Dekyi"(same pronunciation as the first but using different Chinese characters).Drolkar's intention was to avoid giving her baby the same name as all the other Tibetan babies."Although the pronunciation is exactly the same for these two names,and both mean‘longevity' in Tibetan,the written characters for each name in Chinese are totally different so that it is unnecessary to differentiate one name from the other,"Drolkar said.
