    ACTIVITY 1 : FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE

    Creating Your Own Name in Chinese

    Direction : Study how the names of Chinese are derived or given by their
    parents. Look at the example below which is the Chinese
    name of your professor.

    黄 : huang means yellow or golden

    玉: yù means Jade

    美: Měi means beautiful

    Overall Meaning is : 美丽的玉 Měilì de yù : Beautiful golden Jade

    ❖ Remember: Choosing a Chinese name is an opportunity to reinvent yourself,

    but names should be chosen carefully, as they are an important part of


    making a good first impression.

    ❖ In Chinese, the surname comes before the first name or given name. In

    English we often call a surname a last name, but in Chinese it always comes
    first! Also please remember Chinese names have three (3) characters only.
    One surname and two given names.

    Now it’s your turn
