How do you pronounce it?
Luō'ēn
Did you know?
- The first character 罗 (luó) originally referred to a type of fishing net. In modern Chinese, it is the standard character used to represent the 'L' sound in many foreign surnames like 'Lawrence' or 'Lopez'.
- The character 恩 in 罗恩 means 'grace', 'favor' or 'kindness', giving the transliterated name a positive hidden meaning to Chinese speakers.
- Because 罗恩 is a phonetic transliteration rather than a native name, it is almost exclusively used for foreigners in China. A Chinese person would rarely be given this name as their actual legal name.
