The Chinese term "罗宾逊" (Luóbīnxùn) is a phonetically formed transliteration, specifically a common Chinese rendering of the English surname "Robinson." It is constructed by selecting Chinese characters whose pronunciations closely approximate the original English sounds: "罗" (Luó) for "Ro-", "宾" (bīn) for "-bin-", and "逊" (xùn) for "-son." This method of word formation, known as transliteration or phonetic borrowing, is standard for incorporating foreign names into Chinese, where the characters are chosen primarily for their sound rather than their meaning, resulting in a dedicated phonetic label for the foreign entity.
