Tips

usage

Phonetic transliteration covering names like 'Nasi', 'Nasee', or 'Nazee': 娜 (nà) approximates 'Na-', 西 (xī) approximates '-si/-see'. 娜 is one of the standard 'female-name' characters in Chinese transliteration (cf. Anna 安娜, Nora 诺拉). Note: this is not the Naxi (纳西) ethnic minority of Yunnan — that uses different characters.
