What each character carries 逐字小传

Not a dictionary entry: what the character has meant in Chinese names, with the original line it comes from. Every quotation below is matched character-for-character against a versioned corpus shipped with this site. Where a page names a character's origin, that line is our own paraphrase of the standard dictionaries — it is not a quotation, and it carries no book title for that reason.

世代;三十年为一世。

百世可知 What carries across generations

其或继周者,虽百世,可知也。

Whoever succeeds the Zhou — even a hundred generations on, this can be known.

论语 · 为政篇 · our translation
Confucius claims the pattern can be traced a hundred generations ahead. 孔子说礼制的沿革可以推知到百世之后。「世」在这里是时间单位,名字取的是「久」与「可续」。
世代百世世昌世清世安
In a name

Continuity over time, rather than "the world".

「世」在名字里是「长」,不是「人间」。

豪杰执政 When the able are in place

豪杰执政,流泽施只。

When men of ability hold office, their benefit flows outward.

楚辞 · 大招 · our translation
A good order imagined: the able hold office and the benefit reaches down. 《大招》设想的好世道:有本事的人在位,好处流到下面。名字用「杰」,取的是「出众且有用」。
豪杰俊杰杰之士杰英杰
In a name

Standing out in a way that does something.

「杰」是出众,而且有用。

How it sounds 怎么念

Mandarin is tonal: the same letters said on a different pitch are a different word. The line below is the pitch you actually travel while saying the name.

Is it a real name? 有多真

We checked it against a corpus of 1,142,000 real Chinese names — this is not a combination invented for the page.

The corpus describes how many people are actually called this. It is never used to judge whether a name is good.

How people will actually call you 别人会怎么叫你

A Chinese name is almost never used in full. In daily life it gets a prefix, a suffix, or is cut to the given name alone — and which one you get tells you how close the person thinks they are to you.

世杰Full name. Documents, a first introduction, anyone who is not yet a friend.
小世 / 老世Surname with a size prefix — 小 (little) for someone younger or junior, 老 (old) for a colleague who is senior. This is how a Chinese office usually separates two people with the same surname.
世哥 / 世姐Surname + ‘brother’/‘sister’. Warm without being intimate — a shopkeeper, a neighbour, or a colleague a few years older than you.
杰Given name on its own. Family and close friends. An elder using just this is affectionate, not curt.

Patterns, not rules: what you are called depends on your age, the relationship, and the region. In the south you will also hear 阿 + given name between friends.
