What's Your Chinese Name?

About This Quiz

Naming their child is one of the most challenging things that new parents have to decide before birth. Some parents use the names of people who have inspired them in some way. Others will use the name as a way to honor a family member or friend that has shown them the ways of the world and are either no longer with them or want to give their child someone to identify with once they arrive. Unfortunately, whenever the subject of names comes up, everyone wants to chime in their suggestion, whether welcomed or not.

But for a majority of new parents, one factor that they may take into account is the meaning behind the child's soon-to-be name. For example, the name Amanda has Latin roots and means "worthy of love" or in some instances "loved by everyone." Matthew has Hebrew roots, meaning "gift from God." Just like the western hemisphere, the names of the east have different meanings as well. In China, the Hawaiian god Kaili has the definition of "beautiful and victorious."  

With so many names and even more interpretation of their meanings, the spectrum of Chinese names is limitless. Have you ever wondered what your Chinese name would be? Take this quiz to find out!
