The kingly power of My Name
Naming is an important part for
every Chinese person, and Chinese names are always meaningful for my name.
My father spent a lot of time thinking
about a good name for me. The first characters are Wei Chen(维宸). Wei in Chinese means keeping, and
Chen means the king of the empire. In other words, my first name means to keep
the position of the king. I love this name because it shows the love from my
parents. My last name comes from my father, so there is no special meaning. Put
another way, Zhang is a big surname in China, and a lot of people have this
last name
In conclusion, names are important
for everyone regardless of where people are from. I am curious about how
parents in other countries name their children. For myself, I choose Dawson as
my English name because my father’s English name is David. The English name
Dawson originates from an English surname that uses the suffix-son, indicating
that the person’s father was named David. Therefore, Dawson can be interpreted
as the son of David.
Hi Dawson, I don't agree with you that every Chinese person values taking names. My friend was named Meigui - rose, because when she was born, her father saw a rose on a box, so he named her that. Many people think that naming is important, but not everyone. I am glad to read your post. You are lucky because your parents love you so much, and they gave you a meaningful name. When you were a child, you looked so cute. Thank you for sharing the meaning of your Chinese and English names.
ReplyDeleteHi Dawson, I'm impressed that you named even your English name meaningfully! All parents try to give their children a good name. I see that your father also thought a lot, because Your name has a good meanings.

Hi Dawson, you are special. This is first time that I see someone tried to follow the English name. Whatever. You have a good family's opinion.
ReplyDeleteHi，Dawson. you have a great Chinese name and you also have a special English name. When I came to U.S.A, I also spent a lot of time to think about my name, but nothing came to my mind. Therefore, my lsat name is Liz, so I decided to call Liz for my English name.
