About
The Chinese word 福尔摩斯 (Fú'ěrmósī) is formed through a process of phonetic transliteration, where the sounds of the English name "Holmes" (specifically from "Sherlock Holmes") are approximated using Chinese characters that have similar pronunciations. The characters 福, 尔, 摩, and 斯 were selected not for their individual meanings (which are "blessing", "you", "rub", and "this" respectively), but purely for their sound value when combined, creating a recognizable auditory equivalent for the Chinese speaker while conforming to the standard syllable structure of the language.
