The naming customs of Indigenous Taiwanese are distinct from, though influenced by, the majority Han Chinese culture of Taiwan.
Prior to contact with Han Chinese, the Indigenous Taiwanese named themselves according to each tribe's tradition.
Aboriginal Taiwanese people settled near Hakka communities were sometimes assigned Hakka-like family names.
For instance, Indigenous pop singer A-mei (張惠妹) may have a name with Hakka characteristics.
In the last two decades some Indigenous Taiwanese people have again taken up traditional names or chosen to emphasize them.
