What our tools can and cannot do — please read before using your Chinese name.
Names produced by our generator and translator are cultural suggestions. A meaning-based name is a genuine Chinese name in structure and spirit, and a phonetic transliteration follows common media conventions — but neither is a legally recognized rendering of your name. Passports, visas, contracts, academic records, and other official documents should rely on certified translation services or the transliteration standards of the relevant authority.
Zodiac matching and the Chinese zodiac pages explain a cultural tradition. They describe what the tradition says, for interest and fun; they are not fortune-telling, and nothing on this site should be read as advice about your fortune, health, marriage, or career. Name meanings describe the characters' cultural connotations — they do not determine outcomes.
We curate our database by hand and correct verified errors promptly (see the Editorial Policy), but language is living and usage varies by region and generation. Content is provided "as is" without warranty of completeness or fitness for a particular purpose.
A Chinese name suggested here is yours to adopt or adapt freely — but before using one in a Chinese-speaking community, workplace, or tattoo, we recommend running it past a native speaker you trust. That's also the fun part: names are conversations, not verdicts.
Where we link to outside resources, we do so for reference only and are not responsible for their content or availability. Questions or correction requests are welcome via the contact page.
