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.

泽zé · B
tier B

水聚之处;恩泽。

A marsh — and the benefit that pools like water.

彼泽之陂 Water standing still

彼泽之陂,有蒲与荷。

On the bank of that marsh grow the cattails and the lotus.

诗经 · 泽陂 · our translation
Where water rests, things grow. A name takes the pool, not the flood. 「泽」是水停下来的地方,所以长得出蒲与荷。名字取的是「有水、有生机」。
泽润恩泽泽之泽民润泽
In a name

Where water rests long enough to grow something.

「泽」是水停下来的地方。

宇yǔ · B
tier B

屋檐,房屋;引申为空间、气度。

The eaves of a house — and from there, room, and breadth.

胥宇 Looking over a place to live

爰及姜女,聿来胥宇。

And with the lady Jiang, he came to look over the site for a dwelling.

诗经 · 绵 · our translation
They come to inspect a place to live. 宇 begins as a roof, then becomes room. 太王带着姜女来看可以安家的地方。「宇」的本义是屋檐屋宇,名字取的是「有容身之处」,再引申为气度。
宇宙屋宇宇清宇之文宇
In a name

Room to stand in, before room to be.

「宇」先是有地方容身,才是有容。

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.

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.

泽宇Full name. Documents, a first introduction, anyone who is not yet a friend.
小泽 / 老泽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.
泽哥 / 泽姐Surname + ‘brother’/‘sister’. Warm without being intimate — a shopkeeper, a neighbour, or a colleague a few years older than you.
宇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.
