Chinese name generator · by birth date

Your Chinese name, chosen from your birth chart.

Chinese families have long read a birth chart before choosing a name. We calculate yours, read its Five Elements, and our AI helps choose a Chinese name to answer it: two characters, each with its meaning, its sound and the reason it fits you.

How it works

First we read your chart. Then we choose your name.

Three steps, and your reading shows you each one. Here they are for one fictional reader, Róngchéng.

Step 1

We calculate your chart

Your birth date, time and place become the Four Pillars of the Chinese calendar, with months that begin at the solar terms. It is a fixed calculation, not AI: the same details always give the same chart.

Step 2

We read what it needs

Following classical texts such as the Ditian Sui and the Yuanhai Ziping, we read your Day Master, the season you were born in and the balance of your Five Elements. Together they set your chart’s naming direction.

Step 3

We choose your name

Two characters from a checked list, matched to that direction. Each comes with its meaning, its Mandarin pronunciation and a plain-English explanation of why it fits you.

Private by design. Our AI sees your chart, never your name or email. Readings are deleted after 6 months, and we use no ad cookies.

For cultural education and entertainment. A reading describes traditional ideas; it does not predict events. Read how we built it

Inside a reading

Written for your chart, in plain English.

From a sample reading for a fictional reader. Every technical word links to a short explanation.

Read the whole sample
In the Four Pillars of your birth, the day stem is Yang Fire. That stem is your Day MasterDay Master · 日主The Heavenly Stem of the day you were born. BaZi reads the whole chart from it., the reference point from which everything else in the chart is read. Yang Fire is not a lamp or a hearth but the sun overhead: it warms whatever it touches, it makes things visible, and it does not easily dim itself to be polite.
丙火猛烈 · 欺霜侮雪Ditian Sui 滴天髓 “Bing fire is fierce, defying frost and scorning snow.” Classical lines in your reading are checked against the original texts.

Questions

Before you begin

I don’t know my exact birth time. Can I still get a name?

Yes. Use your best guess. Your birth time sets the hour pillar, one of the four. Your Day Master comes from your birth date, so it rarely changes with the time.

How do you choose the characters?

We calculate your chart, read which elements it needs by the classical method, then choose two characters that answer that direction from our own hand-picked list. We built the list through the study of Chinese writing, classical literature and naming custom, and checked each character’s meaning and pronunciation against standard dictionaries. Your reading explains each step for your own chart.

Is my name chosen by AI?

Your chart is calculated by fixed rules, not AI. An AI model chooses from the matching characters and writes your reading from your chart’s facts and our reviewed library of traditional descriptions. Automated checks review every reading before you see it.

Can I use the name for a tattoo?

Every character’s meaning and pronunciation is checked. Even so, please ask a fluent Chinese speaker to look at your name before you use it for a tattoo, a document or a brand.

What is free, and what is in the full reading?

Free: your name, what each character means and why it fits your chart. The full reading adds your chart type in full, three strengths and two blind spots, six chapters, five practice cards and two more names.

Is my data safe?

We use your birth details only to calculate your chart and write your reading. Our AI provider receives your chart, never your name or email. Readings are deleted after 6 months, and we use no advertising or analytics cookies. Privacy Policy

Does a reading predict my future?

No. We share BaZi as a cultural tradition. A reading describes traditional ideas about character and balance; it does not predict events and is not advice. Disclaimer

We email you a private link that works for 6 months. Lost the email? Use Find my reading and we will send the link again.
