Nguyễn Phước 阮福
Hí Tôn Hiếu Văn Hoàng Đế 熙尊孝文皇帝 (Nguyễn Phước Nguyên 阮福源, Tế Vương or Sãi Vương, 1613-1635) was called Phước Nguyên ; he was the 6th son of Gia Dũ and of the queen reine of the patronomic name of Nguyễn. He was born the day giáp thìn from the 7th month of the year qui-hợi (1563), 6th of the administration of Gia Dũ in Thuận Hóa, or of Chính Tri period (1558-1571) of king Lê Ânh Tông 黎英宗 (1531-1573). When his mother still pregnant, she dreemed of a person who gave her a paper sheet filled of characters Phước 福. When she wake up, she gave the day to a boy. She chose the Phuớc character to compose the name of her son, she made this reflexion : « If I employ this character like personal name of my son, he will be alone to bear this name in my family ; while if I intercalate it between the patronymic name and the personal name, ten thousand descendants of my family will be able to make use of it, which will make ten thousand Phưoc or “prosperity for my family ».
  
It is as from this moment that the members of the royal family were called Nguyễn Phước 阮福.
