Note on Meaning
- The term "Tân Sơn" itself does not have a direct translatable meaning like common nouns. It is a compound of two Sino-Vietnamese elements: "Tân" (new) and "Sơn" (mountain), but as a proper name, it should be treated as a single unit and not translated literally. Its primary function is to identify specific locations.
