They are simplified chinese (mandarin), I can read the words, but they don't add up to mean anything.

They aren't meant to be words, just letters, can you confirm the letters? Should be AZV. I looked up my children's initials and would like to get them in a tat but want to confirm they are the letters before I go through with it.

Thank you!!

Felicia, I looked up my dictionary to find the proper pronounciation and meaning of the individual words (what is AZV?):
1. ai (1) - sigh**
2. zei (2) - theif, evil minded**
3. de (2) - well mannered, noble
4. wei (2) - link, hold together

Individually, the first 2 words aren't of good meaning; if you wish to change those 2 words, I can look up 2 other words of the same pronounciation for you. But you need to give me the initials that you want to translate. :)

p.s. The number in bracket is the pitch of the word, e.g:
(1) --> --
(2) --> /
(3) --> __
(4) --> \

AZV are my kids initials, Amanda, Zach and Vicotria.

A = ai, Z = zei de, V = wei, are what I found as the translation.

Maybe I should go with the english meaning of their names translated, instead of their initials. LOL

Amanda = Loved
Zach = Remembered
Vicotria = Victorious

Oops sorry, didn't realise AZV were the initials...:eek:

If you want to go with the english meaning, then:
Amanda = Loved = 愛 (ai)
Zach = Remembered = 念 (nian)
Victoria = Victorious = 勝 (sheng)

No problem! I'm glad I can help! :)
You can also use these chinese words for victoria: 凱旋 (kai xuan), its more commonly used in a girl's name. Whereas the other word 勝 (sheng) is more straight forward and more often used in a boy's name.

According to the meanings you gave for the names, I would still think the words "ai" and "nian" fits best for Zach and Amanda. These are the common words that Chinese people will use in names.
