About

The Chinese word 泰勒 is formed through a purely phonetic process, specifically transliteration, where two existing Chinese characters are selected solely for their sound to approximate the pronunciation of the English name "Taylor". The character 泰 (tài) captures the initial "Tay" sound, while 勒 (lè) approximates the "lor" ending. This method creates a new proper noun in Chinese by borrowing the sound of a foreign name, with the original meanings of the individual characters (like "泰" meaning "peaceful" or "great" and "勒" meaning "to rein in") being irrelevant and incidental to the word's formation and current usage.
