Did you know?

  • While 'Jennifer' is a Western name, a Chinese person might be nicknamed 'Xiao Zhen' using the first character of the transliteration to sound more affectionate.
  • The first character 珍 means 'precious' or 'treasure', which gives the name a positive and elegant connotation in Chinese culture.
  • The character 弗 is frequently used in transliterations of names ending in 'fer' or 'ver', but it rarely appears in native Chinese names.
