Asian cultures, on the other hand, influence people differently in selecting and giving names to their children. I was given my full name, Cao Duy Lân, by both my parents. My first name - Lân stands for Lion, which is one of the four Asian Mascots which are Long (the dragon), Lân (the lion), Quy (the turtle), Phụng (the phoenix) and has been adopted by many religious groups as a symbolic figure, especially Buddhism. It comes after the word Duy which means unique and original so that both, as a phrase, represent the strength, power, determination, leadership and bravery that only I, as a unique and special person, could possess. Surprisingly, my surname Cao only arrived from my dad's last name without having any particular meanings but to represent the heritage as well as the continual tradition of my family.
