We use isonymic distance to measure the dissimilarity in surname structure between populations of Chinese provinces, and we employ the minimum spanning tree (MST) and the single linkage cluster ...analysis (SLCA) to investigate the hierarchical structure of Chinese provinces and present its corresponding geographical features. We find diverse discrepancies in the averaged isonymic distance among provinces that are attributed to the heterogeneous surname distributions. The MST displays a core–fringe structure with Henan, Anhui, and Hubei making up the core, and several border provinces on the fringe. The degree centrality list in the MST reveals some “local centers” that act as regional economic centers. On the other hand, the geographical layout of MST reflects the historical “Rush to Northeast” mass migration, as well as the blocking effect of the Qinling–Huaihe line that separates north and south China. The clustering results derived from the SLCA show nine groups of provinces in which each group is geographically continuous.
•We construct a network of Chinese provinces whose edges are isonymic distances.•A hierarchical tree of Chinese provinces is derived from isonymic distance matrix.•The geographical features of these hierarchical structures are exhibited in map.•Our empirical findings support the Tobler’s First Law of Geography.

El actual sistema antroponímico de San Pablito Pahuatlán, Puebla, comunidad otomí enclavada en la Sierra Norte de Puebla, es un sistema de tres casilleros. El primer casillero es el que corresponde ...al llamado nombre de pila, el cual puede estar compuesto de una o más piezas léxicas; el segundo casillero es en el que se consigna el primer apellido; y el tercer casillero, el segundo apellido. Sin embargo, en su inicio fue un sistema de un casillero. El objetivo del presente artículo es dar cuenta de la evolución del sistema en San Pablito centrándonos en los nominales con función de apellido.
El periodo temporal estudiado va de 1874, cuando inicia sus funciones el Registro Civil de Pahuatlán de Valle, hasta el año de 1970. Nuestra base de datos se alimentó con los nombres de 3,094 personas nacidas en San Pablito y la fuente fueron las actas de nacimiento.
El corpus consta de un total de 334 apellidos entre simples, compuestos y múltiples. Tanto de origen indígena como no indígena.
Esta investigación hace parte de otras líneas de investigación que en su conjunto pretenden realizar la descripción del sistema antroponímico de San Pablito, Pahuatlán.
Cet article propose de comparer les diversités génétique et patronymique de la France métropolitaine. Pour cela sont discutées les quelques enquêtes de génétique des populations, menées du XXe siècle ...à nos jours, dont l’ambition était de décrire la diversité génétique de la France métropolitaine dans son entièreté. La critique porte sur leurs limites actuelles résultant soit d’une faible couverture géographique, soit d’un nombre réduit de systèmes génétiques et/ou de l’emploi de méthodes de représentation insatisfaisantes. Pour pallier ces divers inconvénients, il est proposé d’utiliser les patronymes comme substitut des gènes. Les avantages tiennent à leur mode de transmission, à leur nombre, à leur fréquence connue jusqu’au niveau géographique de la commune, sur l’ensemble du territoire français et sur plusieurs générations. Les résultats montrent l’existence de fortes disparités patronymiques entre le nord et le sud de la France, entre le centre et ses périphéries. Les différentes structures mises en évidence sont étroitement liées à des proximités géographiques, mais aussi à des variations génétiques, linguistiques ou dialectales, ainsi qu’aux relations historiques entretenues avec les pays voisins.

On December 16, 2015, the Supreme Court Grand Bench of Japan ruled on constitutionality of a single surname system among married couples for the first time. The court ruled that it is constitutional ...even though it is typically the woman (wife) ―96% in 2015― who gives up her maiden surname and changes it to the man’s (husband’s) surname in the family registry. Accordingly, Japan is still a unique modern state in that its national law obliges a married couple to have a single surname, even now in 2018. In this article, I discuss the history of Japanese law governing surnames after the Meiji Restoration in 1868, amendment of and deliberation on the single surname rule by 2018, and the Supreme Court Judgment on the constitutionality of enforcing the single surname rule for married couples. I argue that “the value of Japanese family” has systematically oppressed women’s status for a long time since modernization, and the single surname rule has effectively worked as a tool to enforce this mechanism. However, currently people’s attitude toward introduction of selective different surname system seems to be changing, and more people support introduction of this system. This may trigger to increase the number of people who doubt the reasonableness of current single surname system with no exception. Continuous effort to educate people - from elementary school to leadership positions - is necessary in order to make the Diet to finally introduce a selective different surname system in the future.
Within most western countries, gendered proposal, surname, and wedding traditions remain widely endorsed. A previous study indicated that endorsement of proposal and surname traditions is associated ...with higher levels of benevolent sexism (BS) in university students in the USA. Three studies (N = 367) extended research to adolescents (dating age) and 30-year-olds (typical first-time marriage age). For the first time, these studies examined gendered wedding traditions (e.g., father walking a bride down the aisle). Different combinations of ambivalent sexism predicted participants’ opinions about surname change after marriage and the choice of children’s surnames. In younger adolescents (11–18 years; 56 boys, 88 girls, 68.1% White), hostile sexism (HS) predicted endorsement of surname change, whereas benevolent sexism predicted endorsement in 16- to 18-year-olds (58 boys, 84 girls, 76.8% White) and 30-year-olds (37 men, 44 women, 74.1% White). In adolescent samples, both BS and HS predicted endorsement of patronymic traditions for children, whereas only BS did in the adult sample. The findings suggest that different types of sexism predict traditional beliefs in specific age groups.

We find that CEOs with more favorable surnames receive significantly higher compensation. The estimated effect of surname favorability is unique and incremental to the documented effects of various ...firm, board, and CEO characteristics. CEOs with French or German surnames receive significantly lower compensation after the French and German governments' opposition to the Iraq war. Surname favorability is not associated with corporate investments, disclosure policies, or firm performances. The results are more pronounced for professional (i.e., non-founder) or short-tenured CEOs and for firms with lower institutional ownership. Surname favorability reduces the likelihood of forced CEO turnover following poor stock performance but is not associated with a CEO's self-serving behaviors. Our results suggest that the effect of surname favorability is attributable to inefficient contracting by the board of directors. Our findings have implications for corporate stakeholders who have committed to the efficient contracting of CEO compensations.

In 1984, Shin and Yu proposed that sampling Koreans by simply identifying those with the common surname Kim would yield a representative sample, as determined by geographic distribution. We extend ...the evidence that individuals with specific common surnames in Korea are representative of the whole population. We found that individuals with any of the five most common Korean surnames, not just Kim, were highly representative in Korea in terms of sociodemographic characteristics, attitudes, and health characteristics. In the United States, we found that Kim sampling produces a representative sample of Korean Americans among those who have a Korean surname. While Kim sampling generates a representative sample of Korean American men, it underidentifies Korean American women who grew up in the United States, many of whom do not have Korean surnames, thus potentially biasing samples of women.

This article analyses main trends in the study of Ukrainian surnames from the period between the late seventeenth and the early twenty-first centuries. It points out the topicality of research on ...regional anthroponymy and its contribution to the development of studies on dialects, lexis, word formation and other issues in linguistics. Proper names contain a wealth of linguistic and historical information on realities of a nation or a particular region. The analysed material demonstrates that scholars investigating Ukrainian surnames have devoted considerable attention to the formation and development of the Ukrainian anthroponymic system, the functioning of anthroponyms in language, and the origin and semantics of personal names. They have identified the main stages in the formation of Ukrainian surnames and outlined the development of their role as a sign common to all members of a family, focusing in particular on the processes that have fostered the formation and development of the Ukrainian surname system. They have also examined the lexical basis of surnames, and identified the most productive lexical groups in this regard. The article presents the state of research on the classification of Ukrainian surnames according to their motivation features and means of their formation. It also sketches the prospects of further studies on Ukrainian anthroponomy. It points out that as yet there is no full register of Ukrainian surnames, and that some of the materials collected in particular regions have only been presented in dissertations and are often kept in private files of the researchers.
