瑾瑜
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.
怀瑾握瑜兮，穷不知所示。
I carry jade in my breast and hold it in my hand; in my poverty I do not know how to show it.
The jade that pairs with 瑜.
「瑾」是和「瑜」成对的那块玉。
怀瑾握瑜兮，穷不知所示。
I carry jade in my breast and hold it in my hand; in my poverty I do not know how to show it.
Texture rather than shine: what you are actually holding, not how it looks to others.
「瑜」是质地，不是光——它说的是你手里有什么，不是别人怎么看。
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.
- Writing/recognition scored below full marks.
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.
