Naming customs are different around the world. In most cultures, however, people have at least two names: a family
name and given name. Your given name is the name you receive when you are born. Your family name is the name you share
with other people in your farnily In the United States, the family name is often called the last name, and the given name is often
called the first name. However, the order of two names is not the same everywhere. For example, in many Asian countnes, the
family name is first and the given name is second. When two people from different cultures meet, sometimes they use the
incorrect name. This can cause embarrassment.
Family names can show something about a family's early history. The origin of many English family name is a place,
like London, or a job, such as Farmer or Shoemaker. A long time ago, these families probably worked as farmers or
shoemakers. Swedish and Danish family names often mean son of _____. For example, Johansson means son of Johan. In South
Korea, there are only about 250 family names. These names go back hundreds of years to vary old clans. About half of all
Koreans have one of the three most common family names - Kim, Park or Lee.
There is generally no choice about a family name, but there is much more choice about given names. Parents choose
their child's name for many different reasons. They may select a name that sounds beautiful or means something special. These
names may have meanings like peaceful or happiness. In some cultures, there may be a connection between children’s names
and when or how they were born. For example, a Yoruba child in Nigeria might have a name like Sunday or Born on a Sunny
day. In some countries, parents may pay more money to a professional baby namer to help them find a good name. They want to
find a name that will be lucky for their child.

The principle difference between urban growth in European in the North American colonies was the slow evolution of cities in
the former and their rapid growth in the latter. In Europe they grew over a period of centuries from town economies to their
present urban structure. In North America, they started as wildemess communities and developed to mature urbanism in little
more than a century.
In the early colonial days in North America, small cities sprang up along the Atlantic Coastline, mostly in what are now New
England and the Middle Atlantic states in the United States and in the lower Saint Lawrence valley in Canada. This was natural
because these areas were nearest to England and France, particularly England, from which most capital goods (assets such as
equipment) and many consumer goods were imported. Merchandising establishments were, accordingly, advantageously
located in port cities from which goods could be readily distributed to interior settlements. Here, too, were the favoured
locations for processing raw materials prior to export. Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Montreal. and other cities flourished,
and as the colonies grew, these cities increased in importance.
This was less true in the colonial South, where life centered around large farms, known as plantations, rather than around towns,
as was the case in the areas further north along the Atlantic coastline. The local isolation and the economic self-sufficiency of
the plantations were anagonistic to the development of the towns. The plantations maintained their independence because they
were located on navigable streams and cach had a wharf accessible to the small shipping of that day. In fact, one of the strongest
factors in the selection of plantation land was the desire to have it in front on a water highway.
When the United States became an independent nation in 1776, it did not have a single city as large as 50,000 inhabitants, but
by 1820 it had a city of more than 100,000 people, and by 1880 it had recorded a city of over one million. It was not until after
1823, afler the mechanization of the spinning and weaving industries, that cities started drawing young people away from
farms. Such migration was particularly rapid following the Civil War (1861-1865).
