Why Kamala D. Harris?
Kamala D. Harris's Chinese name was taken by Su Xifen, the father of Su Rongli, a Chinese-born women's councilor in San Francisco, when he was elected as the local attorney general in San Francisco in 23, which was the first time for non-Chinese candidates of local elected officials in San Francisco to have Chinese names.
According to Su Rongli's recollection, because there are many Chinese in San Francisco, she suggested that Kamala D. Harris must have a Chinese name that Chinese voters can remember more easily. Kamala D. Harris agreed very much. Su Rongli consulted her father nearby and chose the name "Kamala D. Harris", which means congratulations.
When Kamala D. Harris inquired about the meaning of her Chinese name carefully, she said that she didn't like the word "Li" because she hoped to win with wisdom, not with beautiful appearance. However, Su Rongli vividly explained to Kamala D. Harris that "brocade" and "beauty" meant "both talent and appearance", just like brocade or brocade, and her own name "Su Rongli" had the word "beauty", which Kamala D. Harris-as one pleases readily accepted.
After that, whenever Kamala D. Harris goes to the Chinese community to campaign for votes, she must introduce herself with her Chinese name "Kamala D. Harris": "I am Kamala D. Harris."
Kamala D. Harris (English: Kamala Devi Harris, kamala Tipi Harris; /? kɑ? m? l? /； October 2, 1964-), American politician, lawyer, member of the Democratic Party of the United States, and vice president-elect of the United States.
