What each character carries 逐字小传

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.

玉yù · B
tier B

温润而有光泽的美石;引申为美好、珍贵。

Fine jade — the stone that is valued for its grain, not its shine; by extension anything precious and well-made.

美玉于斯 The question is not the jade

有美玉于斯,韫椟而藏诸?

Here is a beautiful jade: put it in a box and keep it, or wait for a good buyer and sell it?

论语 · 子罕篇 · our translation
The jade is never in question; what is in question is whether to show it. A name takes the stone, not the dilemma. 子贡问孔子:美玉是收起来,还是待价而沽。玉本身没有疑问,疑问是要不要让人看见——名字用「玉」,取的是前一半。
美玉温润玉帛玉成玉衡明玉玉书
In a name

Texture, not ornament.

「玉」是质地,不是装饰。

书shū · B
tier B

Writing — and the texts that carry it.

子所雅言 What he said in the formal register

子所雅言,诗、书、执礼,皆雅言也。

When the Master used the formal speech, it was for the Songs, the Documents, and the rites.

论语 · 述而篇 · our translation
Confucius switched to formal speech when reciting the Documents. 书 is the kind of text taken seriously. 孔子平时说方言,讲到《诗》《书》和行礼时才用雅言。「书」在这里指《尚书》——被郑重对待的那类文本。
诗书书卷书之书华明书
In a name

The kind of text you take seriously.

「书」是被郑重对待的文本。

引文校验:2/2 条在语料库中逐字命中(论语 · 孟子 · 大学 · 中庸 · 诗经 · 楚辞 · 全唐诗)。 没有可靠原典的字,我们宁可写「没有」。

How it sounds 怎么念

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.

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.

Meaning and scores are computed from our own character library and a deterministic nameology model — no AI guessing.
