Tell us your name, gender, and birth date. We use these to seed a simplified Five-Element profile and to find a surname that echoes the sound of your English name.
For students of Chinese brush painting
Find the name that belongs on your seal.
Many Western students pick a Chinese name by sound alone — three characters strung together because they resemble their English name phonetically. The trouble is, a name built purely from matching syllables often makes little or no sense in Chinese, or unintentionally combines characters no one would actually use. Seal Name generates a real, meaningful three-character name — one surname plus a two-character given name — built from character meaning, the traditional Five Elements, your personal traits, and (only as a light bonus) an echo of your own name's sound.
Not a transliteration. A name.
Real characters, chosen on meaning
Every candidate character comes from a hand-vetted list of characters genuinely used in Chinese given names — each with a real meaning, a traditional element, and a personality association. We never invent characters or force sounds that don't correspond to real words.
Your name, explained
Each suggestion comes with pinyin, meanings, and a plain-English rationale — so you know exactly why it was chosen, and can swap any character for another that fits.
