Your name carries elements in its sounds

Name reading sorts the sounds of a name into the five elements — wood, fire, earth, metal and water. This tool classifies the initial sound of each syllable to show which elements are present and which are not, and, if you add a birth date, whether the name supplies what the chart is missing.

What this tool does not look at

It reads one axis only: the element of each initial sound. Stroke count, the character-origin element, yin-yang balance and Hanja meaning are not part of the calculation, and nothing here recommends changing your name. Results are for entertainment and reflection.
