Some cultures use a name from the family's history, such as when a male child is named after his father or grandfather (John Smith, John Smith Junior, John Smith III). Other cultures, such as Jews, name the child after a deceased family member, so that the departed person's memory lives on. Some cultures name the child after a famous person in religion (such as Jesus or Muhammad). And some choose a name that is considered good luck or which carries a positive meaning, such as cultures where the child's name translates to qualities like "happiness" or "peace" or "beauty" or "strength." Mostly, parents tend to choose a name they like. Popular names change from generation to generation: for example, in America, Eunice and Beatrice were popular names for girls in the early 1900s, but in 2011, girls are rarely given these names.
