The more a person whose name is unique, the longer he will live

People with strange names will live long, for example, in the US, black men named "Moses" often live longer.

According to Xin Hua, the special name can help people extend their life. This may sound superstitious, but a recent US study shows that in some situations, a person's name really affects their life span.

University of Michigan researchers analyzed the information of 3 million people who died between 1802 and 1970. The team found that black men had strange names, for example "Moses" lived longer than at least one. five years old compared to other black men. "Life expectancy is even more than a year is worth noting, even if only more than a third of the year has been significant , " said researcher Lisa Cook.

Cook said the analysis excluded the impact of socio-economic factors such as family background, education, occupation and other aspects. The group draws conclusions about the cause of the relationship between name and life expectancy that can come from culture. In a society with a strong religious atmosphere like the United States, specially named people like "Moses" received high expectations in their studies or other activities. They are also more likely to build a strong relationship with family and friends. All of these factors can help them lead a healthier life and extend their life than the average.

In the framework of the above study, scientists note that names and longevity can be related to each other but are also governed by certain cultural circumstances of a society at some time. The name also affects many aspects, so before naming "unique, strange" for children, parents need to consider carefully. For example in the United States recently, placing a name that blacks like "La Jisa" often makes a child racist. Even when recruiting workers, people see a name that is rare in their industry, subconsciously they will assume that the person with such a name is not suitable for this career.
