Chinese Given Names

Male

Boys are usually given names with meanings to do with strength, wealth and patriotism. A boy can be known by several different names during his life. As a baby, he is given a 'milk name', then a 'book name' when he goes to school and later a marriage name, a professional name and perhaps an everyday name used by family and close friends.
