What’s in a Chinese name?
By admin | February 29, 2008
There’s two ways of traslating English names in Chinese:
1. Sound translation: Stephen Smith (shi di wen, shi mi si)
2. Use the sound of English name and put in Chinese characters which have meanings. For example, Kevin Rudd (Lu Kewen. Lu is the surname, Ke meaning overcome, master, wen meaning literature or language). Janice McGilchrist (Ma Jieni, jie meaning outstanding, ni meaning girl)
