Vietnam
I traveled to Vietnam on July to Sapa and below are some interesting pictures and facts .
Below are some pictures of Vietnam -Sapa village.
Nguyen is a common name among the Vietnamese.
Extracted from Wikipedia :
When Hồ Quý Ly overturned the Trần Dynasty, he killed many of their descendants so when the Hồ Dynasty collapsed in 1407, many of his descendants changed their surname to Nguyễn in fear of retribution.
In 1802, some of the descendants of the Trịnh Lords fearing retribution changed their surname to Nguyễn, while others fled north into China. The Nguyễn Dynasty awarded many people the surname Nguyễn during their rule, and many criminals also changed their surname to Nguyễn to avoid prosecution.
As with all other common surnames, most people having this surname are not necessarily related. In Vietnamese custom as with other East Asian cultures, the surname precedes the given names. Like many surnames in Vietnam and other Chinese-influenced cultures (including Korea and Japan), the name Nguyễn is shared with those in the Chinese culture with the same surname.
