Chinese Names

Chinese name seems very popular now. I often get emails asking for a Chinese name based on his/her English name. So I have put together a list of popular English names and their corresponding Chinese names by gender. The Chinese names are mainly translated by the pronunciation of the English names. The English names here are mainly first names. If you have a question about Chinese names, please check out Questions About Chinese Names. If you are looking for a last name, please go to the Chinese Names from Western Family Names. Click one of the letters below to see a list of names.
