Tips

history
The reign title 成泰 (Vietnamese: Thành Thái) belonged to Emperor Nguyễn Phúc Bửu Lân, who reigned under French colonial supervision from 1889 to 1907 before being deposed and exiled for resisting French rule. Vietnamese reign titles use the same Chinese characters Vietnam used pre-1945, so Chinese sources can write them directly.
usage
Also a common Chinese given name (成 'become/succeed' + 泰 'peace/safety'); the literal-meaning combination 'achieve peace' is auspicious enough to be used across generations.
