### 1. 技术领域：Android 的简称

– 在《星球大战》（Star Wars）系列中，Droid 是虚构宇宙中的 智能机器人（如 R2-D2、C-3PO）。
– 这里的 “Droid” 是 “Android“（人形机器人）的缩写，但星战中的 Droid 不一定是人形（例如 R2-D2 是桶形）。

– 与 “Bot”（软件程序）完全不同。
—
### 总结

1. 摩托罗拉的 Android 手机（商业品牌）。
2. 《星球大战》的机器人（文化符号）。
3. Android 系统的非正式简称（少数场景）。

First Name / Given Name / 名字
– 也称为 given name（名字），是个人的名字，通常由父母或监护人选择。
– 在正式场合，可能会用 Christian name（基督教名）或 forename（前名）来指代，但现代更常用 first name。
– 例子：在 “John Smith” 中，”John” 是 first name。
– Given Name 与 first name 相同，指个人被赋予的名字（不包括姓氏）。
– 在某些文化中，一个人可能有多个 given names（如 “Mary Anne”），但通常第一个是最常用的。
Last Name / Family Name / Surname / 姓 / 家族姓氏
– Last name（姓） 和 surname（姓氏） 是同义词，指家族姓氏，通常代代相传。
– 在西方文化中，姓氏放在名字之后（如 “John Smith”），但在某些文化（如中文、匈牙利语）中，姓氏在前。
– 例子：在 “John Smith” 中，”Smith” 是 last name / surname。
– Family Name 与 surname / last name 同义，强调家族传承。
