Lucy in Chinese
How to write Lucy in Chinese, how to say it, and real Chinese names that sound like it.
Lucy, written by sound
露西
Lùxī
- 露lù

This is how Lucy is written by sound: in the news, on maps and in translated books. Each character is there for its sound, so their meanings don't add up to anything.
But it isn't a Chinese name. Chinese parents choose a name for what it means, like the ones below.

How Chinese names work
The family name comes first, and it is almost always one character: 王 Wáng, 李 Lǐ, 林 Lín. A few have two, like 欧阳 Ōuyáng.
The given name follows: one or two characters, chosen for what they mean. A virtue, a flower, a wish from the parents.
So with a family name in front, 璐 becomes a full name such as 林璐 (Lín Lù).
