Write Your Name
in Chinese

把你的名字寫出來

Type a name and watch it written the way our students learn to write it — one stroke at a time, in the right order, on the same 米字格 practice paper. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

Or try:

This is how your name sounds這是你名字的讀音

What you just watched is 音譯 — your name written with characters chosen for their sound. It is what a Chinese newspaper would print, and it is genuinely how Michael becomes 麥可.

A Chinese name is a different thing. It is chosen for what it means, usually alongside a Chinese surname, and a good one carries something a family wants for the child. That is not something a web page can pick for you — it is the kind of thing our teachers help a student choose in their first term.

以上是「音譯」——依讀音選字,報紙上就是這樣寫的。 真正的中文名字則是依字義取的,通常還配一個中文姓,寄託著家人對孩子的期望。 這件事網頁做不來,是老師在第一學期陪學生一起取的。
