Changing the name of TT. Dien Khanh to Phu Thanh: Sounds very strange!

The new name is very strange!

In the past few days, local public opinion has been stirred up by the news that Dien Khanh District will change the name of Dien Khanh Town to Phu Thanh Ward after this locality is converted to ward level (district to town, town to ward). . The reason is because the name Phu Thanh has almost nothing to do with it and sounds very strange, while the name Dien Khanh has been attached to the history, life, and culture of local people for many generations.

Specifically, in the conclusion announcement of the Chairman of the People's Committee of H. Dien Khanh at the meeting on March 25.3, it was agreed that the name of Dien Khanh Town when it becomes a ward is Phu Thanh Ward. At the same time, the new names of the two communes, Dien Dong and Dien Xuan, after merging were taken as Dong Xuan commune.

After the Department of Home Affairs adds some comments from members attending the meeting, it will complete and advise the District People's Committee to submit to the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee and the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee for consideration of the names. as above.

Sharing this, Mr. Thang, a resident of Khanh Hoa and has done a lot of research on the ancient citadel of Dien Khanh, said that taking the new name P.Phu Thanh is really unnecessary and this name is also not appropriate, quite out of place with the general name of the district. 

Expressing his opinion, Mr. Thang said, "The name of the district is Dien Khanh. If it is changed, it should have the word "Dien" in front as other localities have been doing for a long time. But in my opinion, it is best to keep the old name because it is closely linked to the history and culture of the local people. Now changing the name sounds very strange and uncomfortable."

Currently, the names of localities in the district all have the word "Dien" in front, such as Dien An, Dien Lac, Dien Lam, Dien Toan... "Or in other localities like Van Ninh, the communes of the district all have the word "Van ”; Ninh Hoa town is the same, communes and wards all have the word "Ninh" in front... Saying this shows that the name Phu Thanh is very inappropriate", Mr. Thang said.

The district just proposed

Meanwhile, Ms. Vy (residing in TT. Dien Khanh) asked the question, what effect does keeping the name Dien Khanh have and why do you want to change it? Ancient Citadel - Dien Khanh Town is a dear, attached and familiar name to local people as well as friends and tourists everywhere. 

“If we change Dien Khanh to Phu Thanh, no one will remember and recognize this land anymore, and then many things will have to be changed, from addresses, documents, house names, street names, which is very expensive and complicated. I see that in many other places they still have the same town, town, and city names as the province names, so changing the name of TT. Dien Khanh, I think, is very unreasonable and inconvenient," Ms. Vy shared.

Exchange with Youth, Mr. Nguyen Van Gam, Chairman of the People's Committee of Dien Khanh District (Khanh Hoa), only said that changing the name of Dien Khanh Town to Phu Thanh after being promoted to a new ward is just a proposal, the district still has meetings to discuss and still has to go through many things. next steps before making a final decision. The reporter also asked other questions about this name change but received no response. 

H. Dien Khanh's proposal to change the name of TT. Dien Khanh is still controversial and the district has not yet explained why it took the new name Phu Thanh. In the written conclusion of People's Committee Chairman H. Dien Khanh, the reason for this name change was not stated. However, I think that changing the name of a locality must first have the consensus and support of the people living there, only then will it be complete.
