About

The word 知名 is formed through a direct and vivid conceptual combination: 知 (zhī) means "to know" or "knowledge", and 名 (míng) means "name" or "reputation". The formation visualizes the process where something or someone's "name" (名) enters the state of "being known" (知) by the public. It encapsulates the cause-and-effect relationship between reputation and recognition, picturing a name that has successfully spread into collective awareness, thus achieving a state of being famous or well-known.
