Tips

culture

Most-known bearer is Tricia Nixon Cox (b. 1946), daughter of President Richard Nixon, transliterated 翠珊 in older Chinese-language press coverage of the Nixon family's 1972 China trip. The characters were chosen for their feminine warmth — 翠 (jade green) and 珊 (coral) — rather than strict phonetic precision (Tri-cia → 翠-珊 is loose).
