The Chinese word "黛安娜" (Dài'ànnà) is a **phonetic transcription** formed through the common Chinese practice of **transliterating foreign names** using characters whose pronunciations approximate the original sounds. It represents the English name "Diana," with each character selected for its syllable: 黛 (dài) for "Di," 安 (ān) for "an," and 娜 (nà) for the final "a" sound, resulting in a name that is recognizable audibly but carries the literal meanings of the characters themselves (e.g., 黛 meaning "dark pigment" or "eyebrow paint") only incidentally.
