A Name that Represents YOU
As a Chinese teacher, I’ve seen my share of funny & ridiculous Chinese names people call themselves over the years. People who don’t actually understand the meaning, implications or nuances of a word or character.
That’s why I started this service - I want everyone who appreciates Chinese culture & wants a Chinese name for themselves to have a way of getting a proper, unique, beautiful and meaningful name.

+ How do Chinese names work?
- Chinese as a culture values family deeply. That's why the order of a Chinese name is "family name + given name", which signifies family before oneself
- It's most common for a Chinese name to have two or three characters. In rare cases, four characters is possible as well
- To introduce the family name, we say: 我姓 (wǒxìng) + family name, which is often followed by 我叫 (wǒjiào) + full name
- We use 你叫什么名字 (nǐ jiào shénme míngzi) to ask someone's name
