Find Your Perfect Chinese Name

Yes. Unlike simple translation tools that might give you awkward results, our generator uses a curated database of culturally meaningful characters. We combine surnames and given names based on traditional naming structures (Surname + 1 or 2 characters) to ensure your name sounds native and elegant.

Absolutely. Since we provide the standard stroke order animations and vector-quality PDFs, you can show the generated worksheet to your tattoo artist or calligrapher to ensure the characters are written correctly. Proper stroke balance is crucial for beautiful Chinese calligraphy.

Each generated name comes with Pinyin (the official romanization system) and tone marks. You can see the tone indicators (like ā, á, ǎ, à) on the result card. We recommend checking our Dictionary to hear the audio pronunciation for each specific character.

Chinese names are chosen based on attributes and hopes. When you select tags like "Wisdom" or "Nature," our algorithm selects characters (Hanzi) that historically embody these traits. For example, "Min (敏)" implies quick-wittedness, while "Lin (林)" represents a forest.

In Chinese culture, the Surname comes first, followed by the Given Name. For example, in the name "Li Ming," "Li" is the family name. Our generator respects this order. You can choose a common surname like Li, Wang, or Zhang, or let us pick a random one for you.
