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.

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.

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

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.

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

小欣 / 老欣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.

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

怡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.
