Tips

culture

Phonetic transliteration of "Kingsley": 金 (jīn) for "king" — and the literal meaning "gold" is a happy coincidence — 斯 (sī) for "s", 利 (lì) for "-ley". Sir Ben Kingsley (本·金斯利, b. 1943) is the most famous bearer in Chinese pop-culture context, having won Best Actor for Gandhi (《甘地传》, 1982).
