Character by character
Why it works
Upholding righteousness with a bright and open heart, implying straight conduct and clarity.
Why it reads this way
义明 (Yì Míng) is an editorial Chinese given name. 义 means right conduct, righteousness. 明 means bright, clear. The feel is just, luminous, open, leaning male. It's a curated combination rather than a classical citation, so use it as a starting point and check the full name with a Chinese speaker.
Sound
The pinyin is Yì Míng. Say it slowly, then at normal speed. If a tone feels difficult, practice the syllable alone before putting the full name together. A Chinese speaker will usually understand an imperfect tone in context, but the closer you get, the more natural the name feels.
How to introduce it
“My Chinese name is 义明. 义 — right conduct, righteousness; 明 — bright, clear.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李义明 (Lǐ Yì Míng), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
