Meaning of a Name

Wan (1st above; her last name; all children at her orphange have this name): means ten thousand, or a great number

Jin (2nd above; her first name): means tapestry, embroidery work or brocade; or brilliant and beautiful; or glorious

Pei (3rd above; her middle name): look of a flowing gown

Pei, at least the character used for the Pei in JinPei's name, required a lot of Internet searching compared to the Wan and Jin. Here is the website I found Wan and Jin at. I did find it interesting that PeiJin, explained in the Jin definition I found, means "an abundance of brillance and beauty" but again, I don't know if the Pei is the same Pei that is in JinPei's name since there are several characters for Pei.

So out of curiosity, I used this website, http://www.babynamesworld.com/, to see what the other kids' names meant (except for Brynn's Chinese name, which I looked up based on the Chinese characters on the site above).

Some names had more than one meaning so I picked the one I liked best but it is clear I did not use name meanings to name my children... maybe Price will become a geologist one day...
