How do Chinese people name their babies?

Chinese people often name their baby with some wishes .I will give you some infomation about names in China.In Chinese, the surname comes first and then the given name. The full name of a Han Chinese is composed of two parts: the surnames and the given nameSurnamesA Chinese surname (姓 xìng) refers to one of the over seven hundred family names used by Han Chinese and Sinicized Chinese ethnic groups. The term the hundred family names (百姓 băi xìng) is colloquially used in Chinese to mean people/commoners. Chinese surnames are mainly passed from the father.Given namesGenerally speaking, Chinese given names have one or two characters, and are written after the family name. When a baby is born, parents often give him or her a "pet name" (乳名rŭ míng) or "little name" (小名xiăo míng), such as Little Gem (小宝xiăo băo) or two characters that repeat "Ming Ming" (明明míng míng). The given name is then usually chosen later and is often chosen with consultation of the grandparents.As mentioned earlier, in Chinese, the surname comes first and then the given name. Therefore "John Smith" as a Chinese name would be "Smith John." For instance, the NBA star Yao Ming should be addressed as "Mr. Yao", not "Mr. Ming."And people like to add"小 (xiăo)" before family name, such as"小王(xiăo wáng) ," "小郑(xiăo zhèng) ," "小李 (xiăo lĭ)" and so on. In calling their superiors or elders, the Chinese are accustomed to the nonreciprocal or asymmetrical addressing. They use "title +surname" to address their superior or elders rather than call them surnames (e.g. Professor Wang), while the superior or elders call the addressers their names directly. The Chinese tend to abide by the principle of depreciating oneself and respecting others to show appropriate respects towards the persons being addressed. Otherwise, the addresser may be considered as ill mannered, ill educated or rude.


How do you write jonghyun name in Chinese?

Chinese people usually refer Koreans to their Hanja names, which is the same as Chinese characters. So Jonghyun would be 鐘鉉. [ zhōng xuàn] If you wanted a specific Jonghyun, ie: Kim Jonghyun, it woud be 金鐘鉉. The surname comes first in most Asian languages. These are all phonetic translations.
