Tibetan Name
Subash Lama Tibetan names typically consist of two juxtaposed elements. Family names are rare except among those of aristocratic ancestry and then come before the personal name (but diaspora Tibetans living in societies that expect a surname may adopt one). For example, in Ngapoi Ngawang Jigme, ''Ngapoi'' was his family name and ''Nga-Wang Jigmê'' his personal name.

In addition, merit is also shared with a deceased loved one, in order to help the deceased in their new existence.
