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.
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?
Texture, not ornament.
「玉」是质地，不是装饰。
吾党之小子狂简，斐然成章，不知所以裁之。
The young men of my home village are ardent and ambitious; their writing has real form — they just do not yet know how to cut it.
Having taken shape, not having arrived.
「成」是长成了形，不是到了终点。
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.
Jade only becomes something once it is cut. 成 is worked for, not waited for.
玉要琢才成器——成不是等来的，是磨出来的。
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.
