Did you know?
- While 卡莉 is used for 'Carly', the same characters are often used to translate the name 'Kali', the Hindu goddess of destruction.
- The character 卡 is used in Chinese to translate the 'K' sound in many foreign names and brands and also means 'card' or 'stuck'.
- Chinese names for foreigners are phonetic approximations and not official translations and so a person named 'Carly' might choose different characters to change the meaning of their name.
