The Chinese word "辛辛那提" is a direct phonetic transliteration of the English city name "Cincinnati," formed by selecting Chinese characters whose pronunciations closely approximate the original English syllables: "xin" (辛) for "Cin," a repeated "xin" (辛) for "cin," "na" (那) for "na," and "ti" (提) for "ti." This is a standard method in Chinese for rendering foreign proper nouns, where the chosen characters are primarily for sound and carry no semantic relation to the original name's meaning or history, resulting in a term that is phonetically recognizable but lexically meaningless in Chinese.
