About This Launch
Cathay Ink helps English-speaking learners explore Chinese naming by suggesting three real Chinese names, not transliterations, with each character's reading and meaning explained. You can check names and explore Chinese calligraphy, lunar calendar and zodiac tools, then render a chosen name as brush calligraphy, a seal or a tattoo stencil. Names and the free tools need no account; some artwork and packs are paid. The calligraphy is AI-generated and is not an official translation of a legal name.
Why I Built This
To make Chinese names more accessible to learners by explaining the meaning and reading of each character, rather than relying on sound-only transliteration.
