- Chinese transliterations like 爱德华多 are not official names. A person named Eduardo moving to China might choose a completely different 'Chinese name' with a surname and a given name based on meaning rather than sound.
- The character 华 in 爱德华多 is often used in names to represent 'China' or 'Chinese'. It is the same character used in 中华 (Zhōnghuá) to refer to the Chinese nation.
