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.

曦xī · B
tier B

早晨初升的日光。

The light of the early sun, still low.

初升的日光 First light, at a slant

与女沐兮咸池,曦女发兮阳之阿

I will wash with you in the Xian pool, and dry your hair in the sun on the slope of Yang.

楚辞 · 少司命 · our translation
The 曦 here is the light that dries her hair: the sun just up and still low, not at noon. 此句的「曦」是晒干头发的那道光——太阳刚出来、还斜着的时候,不是正午。
晨曦曦光曦和晨曦曦之沐曦曦月
In a name

曦 gives a name the first light of the day, not the glare at noon.

「曦」给名字的是一天最开始那点光,不是正午的烈。

引文校验:1/1 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.
