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.
君子敬而无失，与人恭而有礼，四海之内皆兄弟也。
If a gentleman is careful and does not slip, and treats others with courtesy, then within the four seas all men are his brothers.
盈科而后进，放乎四海，有本者如是。
It fills every hollow before moving on, and reaches the four seas — that is what having a source looks like.
名声若日，照四海只。
A name like the sun, lighting the four seas.
Capacity rather than drama: everything can come in, and it does not become agitated.
「海」给名字的是容量：什么都能进来，但自己不乱。
Character by character 逐字拆开看
A Chinese name is not two decorative symbols. For every character: what it means, which of the five elements it belongs to, how many strokes it takes to write, and how often it actually appears in 1,142,000 real Chinese names.
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.
- Every syllable has a close English equivalent — nothing here is hard to say.
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.
How this score is built 评分怎么来的
Five dimensions, each scored independently. Every bar below is a real computed value — the same rule set that generated the candidate list, not a separate "premium" model.
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.
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.
