功（gong）
Name meaning
功 (gong) means achievement, merit and work that has produced a result. In names it should suggest earned contribution rather than empty ambition.
Practical naming use
功 (gong) is a strong achievement character for serious, purposeful names. It suits people whose desired image is disciplined, useful and capable of finishing difficult work. Its moral caution matters: 功 (Gong) is not just success or fame, but contribution completed with restraint, humility and responsibility.
Pair 功 (gong) with clarity, sincerity or steadiness: 功明 (Gongming), 功诚 (Gongcheng), 功远 (Gongyuan) or 功安 (Gongan). Avoid pairings that sound like a slogan about winning.
功明 (Gongming): Gong contributes achievement, merit; Ming adds brightness, clarity.
