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.

诗shī · B
tier B

诗歌;《诗经》。

Poetry — and in the classics, specifically the Book of Songs.

无以言 Why it had to be learned

不学诗,无以言。

If you do not study the Songs, you have nothing to speak with.

论语 · 季氏篇 · our translation
In Confucius's day, public speech quoted the Songs. Without them you had no way to speak. 孔子对儿子伯鱼说的。当时的外交辞令要引《诗》,不学就开不了口——名字用「诗」,背后是这个分量。
诗书吟诗诗之诗言清诗
In a name

The thing that gives you something to say.

「诗」是能开口说话的本事。

涵hán · B
tier B

包容;涵养。

To hold — water contained, and the patience that goes with it.

僭始既涵 The oldest sense: to contain

乱之初生,僭始既涵。

When disorder first arose, the first encroachments were already being tolerated.

诗经 · 巧言 · our translation
The old commentary glosses 涵 as "to contain". Not cultivation — capacity to hold. 毛传释「涵」为「容」——这是这个字最早的用法:不是「有修养」,是「装得下」。名字取的是这一层。
涵养包涵涵之涵容清涵
In a name

Capacity to hold, before cultivation.

「涵」先是装得下,才是修养。

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

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.
