lim
リム
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
この語義では姓なので通常 Lim と大文字で書く。東アジアの姓「林」を背景にし、同じ漢字に由来しうる Lin や Lam が言語・方言によって異なる表記になると結び付ける。名簿や宛名で Lim を見たら、英語の普通名詞や略語を探さず、人の family name と判断する。
Treat Lim primarily as a family name in this entry, so write it with a capital L when it identifies a person. A useful memory link is the East Asian character 林, commonly associated with a grove or forest. Different languages and regional pronunciations can produce related romanized surnames such as Lim, Lin, and Lam. Therefore, a Lim in an address, class list, or schedule is likely a person’s surname rather than an ordinary English noun or abbreviation. Also notice the exact spelling so that you do not accidentally add the b of limb.
