Phonetic transliteration of 'Conan':
科 (kē) for 'Co-' and
南 (nán) for '-nan'. Used for figures like comedian Conan O'Brien (
科南·
奥布莱恩) and Conan the Barbarian (
科南). NOT to be confused with the Detective Conan (
名侦探柯南) franchise, where 'Conan' is rendered
柯南 (Kēnán) — same pinyin, different character for 'Co-'.
