About Chinese Name Analysis
Chinese name analysis, also known as 姓名学 (xìng míng xué), is the traditional practice of analyzing names based on the number of strokes in Chinese characters and their relationship to the Five Elements (五行).
The Five Grids (五格)
Chinese name analysis divides a name into five grids, each representing different aspects of life:
- 天格 (Heaven Grid): Represents ancestry and inherited fortune
- 人格 (Person Grid): Represents personality and career luck
- 地格 (Earth Grid): Represents youth and early life fortune
- 总格 (Total Grid): Represents overall life destiny
- 外格 (External Grid): Represents social relationships and external luck
Five Elements and Names
Each stroke count corresponds to one of the Five Elements: Metal (金), Wood (木), Water (水), Fire (火), and Earth (土). The interaction between these elements in your name influences your personality, career path, and life fortune.
💡 Cultural Note
In Chinese culture, choosing a name is a significant decision. Many parents consult fortune tellers or name experts to ensure their child's name has favorable Five Elements balance and lucky stroke counts.
