The word "normal" actually comes from the noun "norm". As an adjective, "normal" can actually be understood as "conforming to standards, norms and patterns". Normal is not directly derived from English, but from French.

For example, the French name of "Paris Normal University" is: Ecole Normale Superieure de Paris, abbreviated as "ENS".

The correct translation of Paris Super Normal School should be "Paris Standard School", "Paris Model School" or "Paris Model School".

The earliest translation of "normal school" into "normal university" was Japanese. 1872, that is, during the Meiji Restoration, Japan established the first normal school in Asia-Tokyo Higher Normal School (the predecessor of Tsukuba University), and translated names such as "Normal School" and "Normal School" were introduced to China in the late Qing Dynasty.

In Britain or the United States, there is no special teachers' college, which exists in comprehensive universities in the form of "teachers' department". English is not called a normal school, but usually called a normal college or a normal college.
