In China, it’s customary to keep a written family history. In reviewing my own family records, as well as official historical government records I learned that a thousand years ago one of my ancestors was a famous artist who worked in the palace for the emperor. Unfortunately, our surname shared the same character as the new emperor’s given name. To avoid being perceived as disrespectful and putting the whole family in danger, he decided to change his surname.

I can see why Chinese think it’s disrespectful to name a child after a parent or grandparent. Imagine you named your son after your father David. “Stop that, David! Or I’ll spank you!” Now, that’s disrespectful!

Our motto.

Republic of Name by Good Characters, Inc. is different. Do you know why we ask you to describe yourself or tell us your interests before we “translate” your name? It is because of our mission: We want to show you the beauty of Chinese characters. We want to personalize a Chinese name that truly reflects YOU as a unique individual, not simply give you one of a thousand stock names.

Here is an example. A customer wanted to order a Chinese name seal as a gift for a friend whose name is John. John is a Bible name that is traditionally translated “Yue Han” in Chinese. This does not sound like the way John is pronounced in English, but it resembles the way John was pronounced when the Bible was first translated into Chinese. The same characters are traditionally used in John’s Japanese name translation, too. The character, “Yue”, means promise and “Han” means writing. It is a good meaning for a name.

However, our customer mentioned that her friend is “very athletic.” We had a better, though much less common, translation in mind. Finally, we choose the character “Chiang” (Qiang in Pingyin) for John. “Chiang” means strong in Chinese. It not only sounds much more like John in English, but it also better represented her friend’s athleticism.
