Chinese Name Generator

Tip: This method matches a Chinese surname to how your English last name sounds. It's a common approach (e.g., Lee → 李 Lǐ), but not every name has a perfect phonetic match, so you may encounter limited results for some surnames.

Tip: Choose a surname based on your Chinese zodiac animal (determined by your birth year). This is a culturally meaningful and reliable approach — we've pre-selected surnames that pair well with your zodiac sign. Simply pick the one you like!

Tip: Browse the most common Chinese surnames. If you haven't found one you like from the methods above, pick from here — these are all well-established, authentic surnames that you can't go wrong with.
