《中华人民共和国民法通则》第三十七条规定,法人应当有自己的名称。《中华人民共和国公司法》第九条和第七十三条也分别规定,有限责任公司和股份有限公司必须有自己的名称。但是,法人登记机关和法人的主要投资者如何给法人命名,法律的规定还不够完备。因此,在实践中,法人的名称比较混乱,这不利于市场经济的发展。本文拟就法人名称的构成问题从原理上提几点看法,供法人登记机关和法人的建立者们以及有关立法机关参考。 Article 37 of the General Principles of Civil Law of the People’s Republic of China stipulates that legal persons shall have their own names. Article 9 and Article 73 of the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China also stipulate separately that limited liability companies and joint stock limited companies must have their own names. However, the legal registration authority and the legal entity of the major investors how to name legal persons, the legal provisions are not yet complete. Therefore, in practice, the names of legal persons are rather chaotic, which is detrimental to the development of a market economy. This article intends to put forward some opinions on the composition of the legal person name from the principle, for the registration of legal persons and legal persons and the legislators for reference.
