Chinese names by meaning
Chinese names that mean peace, wisdom and joy
English meaning is a useful starting point, but a Chinese name character can have more than one sense. Use these groups to shortlist a direction, then check the complete name with the surname and sound.
These are name characters rather than complete personal names. A complete Chinese name combines a surname with one or two given-name characters, so the final choice still depends on tone, homophones, family context and written form.
Peace and calm
Wisdom and insight
Joy and contentment
Excellence and praise
Jade and refinement
Poetry and thought
Morning and new beginnings
Breadth and depth
Grace and benefit
Nourishing rain
