My name is in Chinese. Russian names in Chinese: a complete list. Translation and meaning. Russian names in Chinese
Many people are interested in how their Russian names are written and sound in Chinese. After all, Chinese is not English, into which any name can be easily translated. When translating names into Chinese, the sounds are transcribed, i.e. are selected more similar to the original in sound. But since the number of sounds in the Chinese language is very limited, the Russian name transcribed into Chinese may sometimes sound completely different from the original.

For more than a decade, Chinese characters have been attracting Europeans with their unsolved mystery. Someone is attracted by the magical meaning of these curlicues in the form of a tattoo, someone protects their home, decorating the interior with all sorts of semantic pictures from hieroglyphs, and someone is just interested in immersing themselves in the world of the oldest language on the planet. But the first thing newbies start with is figuring out how to write their name in Chinese.
Female names
It is unlikely that anyone will argue about the beauty and tenderness of the female names of Chinese women. Most often, parents use concepts such as:
- outer beauty;
- grace;
- compare it with precious stones;
- the beauties of nature;
- emphasize intellectual ability;
- very common - interweaving of color names.
When translating from a Russian name, everything is much easier. Hieroglyphs are selected based on the similarity with the sounds of the original version, without embedding any meaning in them. But already a hieroglyph, which is usually a monosyllabic word, can mean, for example, the word "beauty" or "joy".
Male names
With boys, things are a little more complicated. Given the high mortality rate in the past, they were valued much higher than newborn girls. And woe to the woman who could not give birth to an heir to her husband. This is partly why the daredevils were much more protected. They even called them, sometimes in a girlish way, sometimes by the nickname of a dog - anything to deceive fate. Only slightly matured babies were given names corresponding to gender and status, into which meanings were interwoven:
- Wealth;
- Physical superiority;
- Valor;
- Masculinity;
- Use of any cult objects.
Pronunciation of names
It is difficult for the Chinese to pronounce long and cumbersome Russian names, for the simple reason that some sounds in their language are simply not there. And some of them are modified to such a state that they are simply unrecognizable. Moreover, in different parts of the PRC, the sound may also differ. For example, in China, the surname of Vladimir Putin is pronounced as Pujing, and in Taiwan - P (x) ut (x) in (r).
But let's take a closer look at how the transliteration of the Russian name occurs. Suppose, for example, Hope. In Chinese it will look like 娜杰 日 达 and sound like nàjiérìdá.
- 娜 - most of all resembles the syllable nà;
- 杰 is jié, which can be translated as "outstanding";
- 日 - means "sun";
- 达 - sounds like dá and denotes the verb "to achieve".
The whole word does not carry any meaning. These are just hieroglyphs in Chinese, which are consonant with the syllables of the Russian name. Also, when translating, it is worth considering that the culture of the country is not customary to separate the surname and first name, which are combined in the appropriate order. The first place for the surname is due to the reverent attitude of the Chinese to their own roots. The easiest way is to find a translation for a Russian surname in the baijiaxing list, which serves as material for memorizing hieroglyphs. Wang and Li are considered popular, although they are owned by more than 350 million Chinese.
As a result of such manipulations in translation, you can create something similar to such two-syllable names as Li Hongzhang or Li Xiaolong, where the stress is usually placed on the last syllable.
Meaning of names
From time immemorial, the Chinese have owned several names. The names changed each other depending on the age or status of the bearer. To date, only the dairy name - "min" and the second, more mature one - "tzu" remain from the entire list.
The first is assigned to a newborn at 3 months, since it is believed that it is at this time that the child acquires the ability to understand the world around him. Previously, these were some dissonant names, the purpose of which was to scare away evil spirits. At one time, the government of the PRC even had to ban the use of such characters as death, corpse, excrement, debauchery, curse, anger in Chinese names for newborns. What are the names of the kids now - only close relatives know and it looks more like our home nickname than any amulet.
The Chinese get their second name by entering into a marriage union. "Tzu" consists of two hieroglyphs - "min" + an addition to it, which, as a veriant, can mean the order of the birth of a child if the family has many children.
Therefore, when going to the PRC, in order not to stand out against the general background of meaninglessness, it is better to turn to an experienced translator for help to translate a name from Russian into Chinese. It is important not only to choose the hieroglyphs as accurately as possible, it is necessary to inscribe in them that unique trait or vocation that is inherent in their bearer. This is partly the reason for so many variations in the spelling of the same name in Chinese writing.
For example, consider the transcription (phonetic translation) of the name "Eve." If the name is used in the context of the story of Adam and Eve, then it is read as "Syava" and written as 夏娃. If the name is translated from the English language Eva or Eve, then it will sound like "Willow" and written - 伊娃. Eva Braun will be written as 爱娃, and read "Quince". For the Russian language, the most consonant is the variant 叶 娃.
If we talk about the gender of a name, then it is not possible to recognize the masculine or feminine principle in Chinese names by grammatical signs of spelling. The crux of the difference is meaning.
And it also happens that the meaning is, for example, a phraseological unit, which can in no way be called a literal translation. For example, the well-known group The Beatles in Chinese characters means "four with flying (hair on) their heads."
Conclusion
If the purpose of translating a name is not to decorate your body or home, then most likely this is a trip to the PRC. Then be prepared for the fact that the Chinese do not speak Russian, they do not even understand anything in English. Therefore, upon arrival, it is better to have on hand a sheet of paper where your name and the name of the hotel will be translated and written into Chinese.
Attention! If you need to take a taxi from the airport to the hotel, first you should silently put all your things in the trunk and sit in the salon, and then poke your piece of paper with the address and insist on the trip. Until now, for local drivers, foreigners are something incomprehensible, as a result of which you will not see much desire to drive you.
Moreover, one cannot do without a name, for those who have to contact the inhabitants of the Celestial Empire on work issues. Alternatively, you can take the English analogue, or learn how to write and pronounce the name from the above table. But a name chosen wisely will help to blend in with the life of local residents and make the right first impression.
