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.
大学之道，在明明德，在亲民，在止于至善。
The way of great learning is to make bright the bright virtue, to renew the people, and to rest in the highest good.
博学之，审问之，慎思之，明辨之，笃行之。
Learn broadly, question closely, think carefully, distinguish clearly, and act earnestly.
子兴视夜，明星有烂。
He rises and looks at the night: the bright star is shining.
Two things: light, and the ability to see by it.

高堂邃宇，槛层轩些。
High halls and deep rooms, with balustraded galleries stacked one above another.
轩 gives a name height and openness: a place from which you can look out.
「轩」给名字的是开阔和高——一种能往外看的位置。
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.
bright, clear · a high gallery you can lean out from — taken as one scene rather than three separate definitions.
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.
