Your Chinese Name, Your Story.
A Chinese name that sounds right — and means something.
This is not a simple translation. We design a meaningful Chinese name from your story, your preferences, and Chinese naming culture.
These are labeled samples — examples of how a set can look, not real customer stories or reviews.
艾 is mugwort/wormwood (used here for sound), 米 is rice (used for sound), and 莉 is jasmine — not “beauty” or “elegance.”
Name Cards: after payment, Standard and Brand orders open a Name Studio where you pick a card style — Feminine, Masculine, Universal, or Chinese on Standard, plus Business on Brand — then download each card (PNG, 1080×1440), download them all as a ZIP, or share. Brand also includes HD 2160×2880 exports. Basic does not include Name Cards.
Every personal set includes one name from each approach, so you can compare sound, meaning, and character.
A name based on how your English name is actually pronounced. When we use a classic transliteration, we say so. When we adapt the sound into a shorter Chinese given name, we say that clearly too — we do not invent a perfect sound match.
A name drawn from the real etymology or dictionary sense of your English name. If a root is disputed, we do not over-claim it. This is not a phonetic option with a prettier story attached.
A name shaped by how you want to be seen, using your purpose, gender lean, style preference, and notes — for everyday warmth, a wedding, a personal brand, or a creative character.
A simple, one-time order. After payment, your names appear instantly on the next page.
Share your English name and email, plus any gender lean, purpose, style preference, or notes you want us to use.
After checkout, we create your options from the details you provided — balancing sound, meaning, and how natural the name feels to Chinese speakers.
Your set appears on the next page, with pronunciation guidance. Standard and Brand also include stories and Name Cards to download or share (1080×1440 PNG) — 4 card styles with Standard, 5 with Brand. We use your email for the order and support, not to send the names.
We only promise what the service actually does today.
Each name is checked as a whole, not just character by character, so it can stand as a modern Chinese given name.
Glosses follow real, common dictionary senses. We do not dress a phonetic character with a prettier, unrelated meaning.
We explain why a name fits, in plain language, without luck, destiny, or fortune-telling claims.
Every package includes Hear pronunciation. Standard and Brand also include coaching in the written story.
One-time payment. No subscription. Your names are ready on the success page as soon as checkout completes.
No. We design for sound, meaning, memorability, and cultural fit. We do not sell fortune, feng shui, or destiny claims.
After payment, your names appear instantly on the success page. We use your email for the order and support, not as the place the names are delivered.
You can use a Chinese name socially anytime. Trademark clearance is a legal process. Our Brand package only provides informal, non-legal preliminary screening notes. We do not guarantee that a name can be registered, and this is not legal advice.
No. NihaoName is a website today. A mobile app may come later if people want one.
Instant delivery after payment. See Pricing for what’s in each package.
