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.

晨chén · B

清晨;天将亮。

Early morning — the moment before light.

夜乡晨 Just before it is light

夜乡晨,庭燎有辉。

The night turns toward morning; the courtyard torches still give light.

诗经 · 庭燎 · our translation
The night turns toward morning. 晨 is not daytime; it is the seam just before it. 「乡」通「向」:夜将尽、天未亮。「晨」在名字里取的是这个交界——不是白天,是刚要亮。
清晨晨光晨之晨光晓晨
In a name

The seam just before the light.

「晨」是刚要亮的那一刻。

引文校验:1/1 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」。

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.

Toneschén rising, xī high and flat
If you don't speak Chinese
  • xī — x is close to English 'sh', with the tongue further forward

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.

The corpus describes how many people are actually called this. It is never used to judge whether a name is good.

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.

晨希Full name. Documents, a first introduction, anyone who is not yet a friend.
小晨 / 老晨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.
晨哥 / 晨姐Surname + ‘brother’/‘sister’. Warm without being intimate — a shopkeeper, a neighbour, or a colleague a few years older than you.
希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.
