Is Xinjiang's first name or surname in the back?

In the back. Because the naming law of Xinjiang is that the first name comes first and the last name comes last, it is composed of the first name and the last name, which becomes a reverse father-son naming system. Take Xiao Ni, a famous host of CCTV, as an example. His full name is Negmat Rehman, Nigmat is his first name, and Rahman is his father's name. Then Xiao Ni's son's name should be xxx Nigmat, and so on. Xinjiang people's families have no fixed surnames. This naming method is a tradition of Xinjiang Uygur, which is related to the historical background of Xinjiang's multicultural and multi-ethnic integration. Xinjiang, located in the northwest, was once an important node of the Silk Road in history, and a large number of foreigners poured in. These ethnic groups have formed a multi-ethnic Xinjiang in the process of long-term life and communication.
