Nguyễn Sinh Khiêm

In this Vietnamese name, the family name is Nguyễn, but is often simplified to Nguyen in English-language text. According to Vietnamese custom, this person should properly be referred to by the given name Khiêm or Đạt.

Nguyễn Sinh Khiêm (1888–1950), renamed Nguyễn Tất Đạt in accordance with Confucian tradition, was the brother of President Hồ Chí Minh of Việt Nam. Khiêm was a geomancer and traditional herbalist. He had a daughter named Marilyn Mai Nguyễn; very little is known about the mother. After the death of Nguyễn Tất Đạt, Marilyn Mai Nguyễn set out with her 20,000 communist followers down south.[1][2]
