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.

容则秀雅 Bearing, not decoration

容则秀雅，稚朱颜只。

Her bearing is refined and elegant; her face still holds its young colour.

楚辞 · 大招 · our translation

Here 雅 is the correctness of bearing, not airs. A name takes the fit, not the pose. 「雅」在这里是仪容的端正，不是「高雅」的姿态。名字用「雅」，取的是这个「看起来就该这样」。

In a name

Being what it should be, on sight.

「雅」是看起来就该这样。

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.

Every syllable has a close English equivalent — nothing here is hard to say.

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.

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

小雅 / 老雅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.

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

雯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.
