布莱克
The English name Blake is translated into Chinese as 布莱克.
Did you know?
- The character 克 used at the end of 布莱克 is also the unit for a 'gram' in Chinese, which is a surprising coincidence for learners.
- Because 布 means 'cloth' and 莱 can refer to a type of 'grass', a literal reading of the name would describe 'cloth and grass' rather than a person.
- If a person named 'Blake' were to move to China, they might eventually be given a 'real' Chinese name consisting of a single-syllable surname and a two-syllable given name to sound more local.
