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.
朱唇皓齿,嫭以姱只。
Red lips and white teeth — lovely, and finely made.
A name takes 皓 for the shine, not for paleness.
名字取「皓」,取的是亮,不是白得没血色。
海上生明月,天涯共此时。
The bright moon rises over the sea; from the ends of the earth we share this hour.
The same one, wherever you are.
「月」是隔多远都同一个。
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.
We checked it against a corpus of 1,142,000 real Chinese names — this is not a combination invented for the page.
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.
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.
white that catches light · the moon — taken as one scene rather than three separate definitions.
Ten layouts, one set of facts — the name, how it is pronounced, what each character means, the score and the five elements. Pick a style, then save it at full size. Real type, not an image model: the name can never be misspelt.

No account, no payment, no watermark. Type a name and you get the characters, the sound, and where each character comes from.
