About Ming dynasty names

A Ming dynasty name is written surname first, then a given name of one or two characters, so Hai Rui is Mr Hai. The dynasty ran from 1368 to 1644, and its naming habits show most clearly in the imperial Zhu clan. The founder fixed a run of generation characters for each line of his descendants, and the last character of a prince's name carried a radical that moved through the five elements, one generation after another: wood for Zhu Di, fire for Zhu Gaochi, earth for Zhu Zhanji. Ordinary families used shared generation characters too, while poor households of the founding years often gave plain number names. The founder himself was born with one.

Educated men took a courtesy name (zi) as adults and often an art name (hao) later, and some are remembered by those instead: the philosopher Wang Yangming and the traveler Xu Xiake are both listed under their art names. Entries such as "Tang Yin, zi Bohu" show the form. Women's given names were recorded far less often, and many poets and performers are known by a style name.

The 1,000 names mix real scholar-officials, generals, eunuchs, painters, writers, physicians, women, rebels and loyalists with characters from Ming novels and plays, marked "(fiction)", and original names that follow the same rules.

How to choose Ming dynasty names

  • Keep the surname first and capitalize each word in pinyin (Zhang Juzheng, not Juzheng Zhang) unless your setting has a reason to reverse the order.
  • Give brothers a shared generation character, as in the pairs Shen Maocai and Shen Maode or Yuan Hongdao and Yuan Zhongdao. It makes a household read as one family at a glance.
  • For a scholar, painter or official, add a courtesy name for friends and an art name for signing work. Use the entries with zi and hao as models, and do not move a real person's courtesy name onto someone else.
  • Real names carry reputations. Wei Zhongxian and Yan Song are remembered as villains of the court, so check who a name belonged to before giving it to a sympathetic character.
  • Entries marked "(fiction)" come from Ming novels, stories and plays. Use them for homage, and pick an original name when you want a character with no history attached.

Frequently asked questions

What did Ming dynasty names look like?

A surname of one character, rarely two, followed by a given name of one or two characters: Yu Qian, Qi Jiguang, Xu Guangqi. Given names of educated families leaned on characters for virtue, learning and loyalty, and brothers often shared one character. The list writes every name in pinyin without tone marks.

Why do some entries include zi or hao?

Zi is a courtesy name taken in adulthood and hao is an art name chosen later, often after a studio or a place. "Xu Wei, zi Wenchang" and "Shen Zhou, hao Shitian" show how the two attach to a person. They are given here only alongside the person they belonged to.

Are all 1,000 names real Ming people?

No. Most are historical figures of 1368 to 1644, from Zheng He and Hai Rui to Qin Liangyu and Liu Rushi. Characters from Ming fiction, such as Du Liniang and Sun Wukong, are marked "(fiction)", and the rest, such as Zhao Wenbin or Su Huiniang, are original names built from real surnames and period-style given names.

How were emperors of the Ming named?

Each had a personal name in the Zhu clan, such as Zhu Di, and is usually called by the name of his reign era, which for Zhu Di was Yongle. The list keeps emperors to a small share and gives them by personal name. Princes of the clan, such as Zhu Quan and Zhu Zaiyu, appear as well.
