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.

玉yù · B

tier B

温润而有光泽的美石；引申为美好、珍贵。

Fine jade — the stone that is valued for its grain, not its shine; by extension anything precious and well-made.

美玉于斯

美玉于斯 The question is not the jade

有美玉于斯，韫椟而藏诸？

Here is a beautiful jade: put it in a box and keep it, or wait for a good buyer and sell it?

论语 · 子罕篇 · our translation

The jade is never in question; what is in question is whether to show it. A name takes the stone, not the dilemma. 子贡问孔子：美玉是收起来，还是待价而沽。玉本身没有疑问，疑问是要不要让人看见——名字用「玉」，取的是前一半。

美玉温润玉帛玉成玉衡明玉玉书

In a name

Texture, not ornament.

「玉」是质地，不是装饰。

成chéng · B

tier B

完成、成为；引申为成就。

To complete, to become — and so achievement.

斐然成章

斐然成章 Formed, not yet finished

吾党之小子狂简，斐然成章，不知所以裁之。

The young men of my home village are ardent and ambitious; their writing has real form — they just do not yet know how to cut it.

论语 · 公冶长篇 · our translation

They have form but not finish. 成 in a name is having taken shape, not having arrived. 「成章」是已经有了文采与章法，但还没裁到定。名字用「成」，取的是「长成了形」这一层。

成章玉成成之成器玉成成蹊

In a name

Having taken shape, not having arrived.

「成」是长成了形，不是到了终点。

引文校验：2/2 条在语料库中逐字命中（论语 · 孟子 · 大学 · 中庸 · 诗经 · 楚辞 · 全唐诗）。没有可靠原典的字，我们宁可写「没有」。

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.

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.

玉成Full name. Documents, a first introduction, anyone who is not yet a friend.

小玉 / 老玉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.

玉哥 / 玉姐Surname + ‘brother’/‘sister’. Warm without being intimate — a shopkeeper, a neighbour, or a colleague a few years older than you.

成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.

玉要琢才成器——成不是等来的，是磨出来的。
