Tips

usage
瓦汀 is a generic two-syllable transliteration that surfaces in translated fiction for several similar-sounding Western names (Vatin, Wadin, Watten). The character is heavily used to render foreign 'wa/va' sounds (瓦特 Watt, 瓦伦西亚 Valencia).
memory
(wǎ) + (tīng) ≈ 'wa-ting' → Vatin. originally means 'a small sandbar at the water's edge', a rare poetic character that finds new life as a phonetic in foreign-name renderings.
