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.

实发实秀 From sprout to ear

实发实秀,实坚实好。

It sprouts, it comes into ear, it hardens, it ripens well.

诗经 · 生民 · our translation
Four stages of a crop. 秀 is not prettiness but the moment the grain comes into ear. 写庄稼的一生:发芽、抽穗、结实、成熟。「秀」最初不是「好看」,是长到了抽穗那一步。
秀出清秀秀实秀之英秀
In a name

Having grown to the point of fruiting.

「秀」是长到了抽穗那一步。

颜如舜英 The oldest use of the word

有女同行,颜如舜英。

A girl rides along; her face is like a hibiscus flower.

诗经 · 有女同车 · our translation
英 means flower first; "outstanding talent" is a later extension from "the essence of the flower". 「英」的本义就是花,这里直接写脸像花。后来「英才」的「英」,是从「花之精」引申出来的。
英才英华英华英秀俊英英杰
In a name

Flower first, talent second.

「英」先是花,才是才。

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」。

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.
