How
to
Write
Chinese
Names
in
English Chinese
names
often
consist
of
three
parts:
the
family
name
(sur
name),
the
given
name,
and
the
generational
name
(if
applicable).
In
English,
it
is
customary
to
write
the
given
name
first,
followed
by
the
family
name,
and
to
omit
the
generational
name
(unless
it
is
part
of
the
given
name). For
example,
the
Chinese
name
李小明
(Li
Xiaoming)
would
be
written
in
English
as
Xiaoming
Li.
Another
common
example
is
the
name
王美丽
(Wang
Meili),
which
would
be
written
in
English
as
Meili
Wang. It
is
important
to
note
that
the
order
of
the
name
is
important,
and
should
not
be
reversed.
Writing
the
family
name
first
is
considered
incorrect
in
English
and
can
cause
confusion. In
addition,
some
Chinese
names
may
have
multiple

English
translations.
For
example,
the
name
龙
(Long)
could
be
translated
as
either
“Dragon”
or
“Long”.
In
these
cases,
it
is
best
to
use
the
translation
that
the
individual
prefers,
or
to
follow
the
convention
used
by
their
family
or
community. Overall,
when
writing
Chinese
names
in
English,
it
is
important
to
follow
the
conventions
of
English
names
and
to
maintain
the
correct
order
of
the
name.
By
doing
so,
we
can
ensure
clear
communication
and
respect
for
cultural
differences.
