What is the order of names in Mongolia?

The Mongolian naming system follows a specific pattern where the full name consists of the fathers name followed by the given name. The fathers name is presented genitive, often ending with -iin or -yn.

Are there any naming customs or traditions unique to Mongolian baby names?

Mongolians use a patronymic naming system, indicating lineage through the father rather than using given first names and family surnames. This explains why married couples, mothers, and children often have different last names. For example, if a Mongolian man named Joseph has a son named Michael, the childs full name would be Josephs Michael. However, when translated to English, the names are reversed, resulting in Michael Joseph.
