铭泽
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.
汤之盘铭曰：「茍日新，日日新，又日新。
On his washbasin Tang had it cut: renew yourself each day — again, and again.
What 铭 gives a name is something that stays: not praise received, but a standard you see every day.
「铭」给名字的是「记得住、也守得住」：不是被人夸，是自己每天看见。
彼泽之陂，有蒲与荷。
On the bank of that marsh grow the cattails and the lotus.
Where water rests long enough to grow something.
「泽」是水停下来的地方。
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.
- zé — z is an unaspirated 'ts'
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.
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.
