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.
修己以安人。
Cultivate yourself in order to settle others.
Yourself first, others after — in that order.
「安」是先修自己，再安别人。
人人亲其亲、长其长而天下平。
When everyone loves their own parents and respects their own elders, the world is at peace.
Settled rather than suppressed.
「平」是安顿出来的，不是压出来的。
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.
To settle, and then the look of a thing that has settled.
安是让人定下来，平是定下来之后的样子。
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.
