A free tool that matches English names to Chinese names by sound, scored by deterministic phonetic matching + traditional Wuge (five-grid) numerology — not AI-generated guesses. Enter an English name for ranked Chinese candidates with pinyin and pronunciation, or switch modes to go Chinese to English. No sign-up, no paid AI calls. Built because most "name translator" tools either do a literal meaning translation (reads like a slogan) or guess randomly — this one shows its work.
Hey everyone 👋
I built this because most "translate my name to Chinese" tools online either do a literal word-for-word meaning translation (which ends up reading like a slogan, not a name someone would actually be called) or just spit out something random.
The approach here is deterministic: it maps the sound of your name to common Chinese transliteration characters, then ranks candidates by phonetic fidelity, traditional Wuge (five-grid) stroke-count numerology, and pronunciation ease. No AI guessing — every candidate and every score can be explained.
It started as a small piece of a larger astrology/naming project, but ended up useful enough on its own that I split it into a standalone free tool.
Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's actually gone through picking a Chinese name for themselves or a kid — did the ranking logic match how you'd actually think about it?
