珍娜
珍娜 is the Chinese way to say jenna (phrase).
Did you know?
- Because 珍娜 is a transliteration, each character carries its own individual meaning: 珍 means 'precious' or 'treasure' and 娜 means 'graceful'.
- If a person named 'Jenna' wanted a more traditional Chinese name, they might choose a name with three characters. Two-character names like 珍娜 are immediately recognized as foreign transliterations.
- The character 娜 is almost exclusively used in female names and is rarely found in standard vocabulary elsewhere in the language.
