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.

好学

好学 What counts as loving learning

可谓好学也已。

That may be called loving to learn.

论语 · 学而篇 · our translation

Confucius defines it by conduct, not reading: little concern for comfort, quick to act, careful in speech. 孔子给「好学」下的定义不在书里：食不求饱、居不求安、敏事慎言、就有道而正——做到了才算。

好学学问学之学文学敏

In a name

Not reading — the conduct that earns the word.

「学」不是读书，是那几件事做到了。

温良恭俭让

温良恭俭让 One of five

夫子温、良、恭、俭、让以得之。

The Master gained it by being warm, good, respectful, temperate, and yielding.

论语 · 学而篇 · our translation

The second of five qualities by which Confucius was received: good toward others, not "good quality". 子贡总结孔子：温、良、恭、俭、让。「良」排在第二，是待人厚道那一层，不是「质量好」。

温良善良良之良玉世良

In a name

Being good to people, not being good quality.

「良」是待人厚道。

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.

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

小学 / 老学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.

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

良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.
