Convert Your English Name to Chinese Instantly

Translating your English name into Chinese isn't just about phonetics. A Chinese name often reflects personal values, aspirations, and cultural identity. Whether you’re learning Chinese, doing business in China, or simply want a unique cultural touch, a meaningful Chinese name helps build authentic connections.

Our converter considers both pronunciation and meaning to provide names that are poetic, culturally rich, and aligned with Chinese naming traditions.

Chinese names usually consist of a one-character surname and a one or two-character given name. The given name carries deep meanings—drawing from nature, virtues, literature, and sometimes even family heritage.

For example, the name “子墨” (Zǐ Mò) means “a learned person who values culture,” while “梓萱” (Zǐ Xuān) evokes vitality and happiness. Our tool aims to find the perfect balance between sound and significance.

Is the translation phonetic or meaning-based?

We combine both. Your English name is analyzed for pronunciation similarities, while ensuring that the resulting Chinese name is culturally meaningful.

Can I choose a surname?

Yes! You can optionally input a surname to be used in the Chinese name, especially helpful for family heritage or business needs.

Is this tool free?

Absolutely. Our Chinese name converter is completely free to use, with no payment required.
