131 Evergreen Chinese Boy Names For Your Young Master

For centuries, Chinese parents have embraced the significance of selecting names that bestow blessings and bring good fortune to their offspring. Chinese boy names imply strength, characteristics, and prosperity. The parents believe in choosing a harmonious name that helps bring good luck and prosperity to the child. They also follow astrological rules to select the correct characters to name the baby. Chinese baby boy names are equally remarkable as girl names, but they usually use gender qualities such as strength and vigor to find the best name. A Chinese family name typically consists of one, occasionally two, syllables, including Wang, Li, Liu, Chen, and Zhang and is placed at the beginning of the full name. The personal name comes after the family name, consisting of one or two syllables, with two syllables more common (1). Interestingly, many Chinese syllables can serve as both family and personal names. Consequently, when writing a name, the family name is put in uppercase if known, and names with two syllables (family or personal name) are treated as a single unit. For instance, Si Tu Kong could be written as Si Tukong (1). Typically, Chinese names lack gender specificity, which provides a low possibility of determining a person's gender solely based on their given name. However, more familiarly, individuals may be addressed with terms such as lao (meaning 'old') or xiao (meaning 'little'), followed by their family name. For instance, Lao Wang or Xiao Zhang (1). Whether rooted in ancient wisdom or modern trends, these names will inspire and captivate parents as they choose the perfect name for their beloved son. If you are looking for Chinese baby boy names for the way you appreciate Chinese dialects such as Cantonese and Mandarin, or if you want to honor the cultural history, below is the list. Pick your favorite name from this collection to spark inspiration for your baby boy.
