摘　　要：A translator spends large amount of time in searching,selecting or translating a Tibetan’s name occasionally.There are two difficulties in translation of Tibetan names from Chinese into English.One difficulty is that it’s hard to know which one is the most appropriate when there are many alternative names a translator chooses from.As for the difficulty,the one which is accepted or familiar by target audiences is the best choice.The other difficulty is that no English counterpart of a Tibetan name is found in the target language.It’s recommended that a translator use Latin transliteration.
