How do you pronounce it?

Did you know?

  • The character 埃 in 埃里克 literally means 'dust' or 'powder' when used outside of name transliterations.
  • In professional Chinese settings, people rarely call a colleague by their given name like 埃里克 and instead use their surname plus a title.
  • Because this is a transliteration, the name does not carry a 'lucky' or 'auspicious' meaning, which is a common goal when choosing a native Chinese name.
