This site welcomes material
for inclusion and publication. If you are a person of or descended from
the Leow clan, however it is spelled, and have any relevant material such
as your genealogy, even though it is for 2 generations only please let
us know. Once enough branches are gathered, you'll be able to see how you're
linked.
Other useful material would
be articles on people of this clan, whether historical or present. One
thing we're looking for is the Verse Of Generation Names. The early Chinese
followed the tradition of using a successive word in a clan Verse Of Generation
Names in the name of all their children in a particular generation. The
traditional Chinese name consists of 3 words or elements, i.e. the surname,
the generation name, and the personal name. The surname appears first,
although in the West this has changed to conform to local norms in naming,
and the generation can be placed as the second or third element depending
on preferences. Therefore in the old days 2 strangers from the same clan
in different parts of the world sporting the same surname and generation
names who meet will know they are of the same generation. The Verse Of
Generation Names is handed down the generations for observance, although
that is not much practised today.
