FAQ
Is this a real Chinese name?
Yes. Every surname and character we use is authentic and commonly used in Chinese names. The structure (family name first, then a one or two character given name) follows real naming conventions.
How is Chinese name order different?
In Chinese, the family name comes first, followed by the given name. So "Wang Xiaoming" means the family name is Wang and the given name is Xiaoming.
What do the tone marks mean?
Mandarin has four tones. The marks above vowels (ā á ǎ à) tell you the pitch — flat, rising, dipping, or falling. They change a word's meaning, so they matter!
