Scope note
Names given for use in, or with reference to, a temple. In East Asian tradition, temple names usually comprise two characers, given after death to royalty and some others, referencing the great temple where royalty gathered to worship their ancestors. In contrast to "posthumous names" in this tradition, temple names are simple. In the protestant Morman church, members are assigned a new "temple name" in the Morman Temple.
