Not a dictionary entry: what the character has meant in Chinese names, with the original line it comes from. Every quotation below is matched character-for-character against a versioned corpus shipped with this site. Where a page names a character's origin, that line is our own paraphrase of the standard dictionaries — it is not a quotation, and it carries no book title for that reason.
返景入深林，复照青苔上。
The low sun enters the deep wood and lights the moss again.
深林人不知，明月来相照。
Deep in the wood, no one knows I am here; the bright moon comes to keep me company.
A grove rather than a single tree: 林 gives the name a place to be, not just an object.
「林」在名字里不是一个字，是一片地方——它让名字有了可以待着的地方感。
知之为知之，不知为不知，是知也。
To know what you know, and to know what you do not know — that is knowledge.
知者不惑，仁者不忧，勇者不惧。
The wise are not perplexed, the humane are not anxious, the brave are not afraid.
知者乐水，仁者乐山。
The wise take pleasure in water; the humane take pleasure in mountains.
Not cleverness: the ability to tell things apart.
「知」在名字里不是「聪明」，是分得清。
日照香炉生紫烟，遥看瀑布挂前川。
Sunlight on Incense Burner Peak raises a purple mist; from far off the waterfall hangs before the river.
遥望洞庭山水翠，白银盘里一青螺。
Gazing far across Dongting, the hills and water are green — a single blue snail on a silver plate.
Scale: stand further back, and you see the whole thing.
「遥」给名字的是尺度：站得远一点，才看得完整。
Mandarin is tonal: the same letters said on a different pitch are a different word. The line below is the pitch you actually travel while saying the name.
We checked it against a corpus of 1,142,000 real Chinese names — this is not a combination invented for the page.
A lightweight model scores the name on five dimensions — without your birth chart. The full version re-scores it against your chart, explains every deduction, and shows every candidate it considered.
A wood, a knowing, a distance — you go in, you learn the way, and something is still far ahead.
走进森林，认得来路，远处还有地方。
The cards are rendered with real calligraphy fonts — the name is written, not drawn by an image model, so it can never be misspelt.
You have just seen what every character means, which element it belongs to, its source, and how many real people are actually called this. What Orient Pro adds is judgement: it casts your (or your child's) birth chart, screens every candidate character against it, and gives you the five-dimension score with every deduction explained, all the candidate names it considered, a printable report and a poster.
