氏(shi)
Name meaning
氏 (shi) means family name, maiden name or née (as in 李王氏 (li wang shi) "Mrs. Li, née Wang").
Practical naming use
Use 氏 (shi) when the name should suggest family name, maiden name. Keep the full two-character name natural, readable and balanced for everyday use.
Pairing guide
Pair 氏 (shi) with characters such as 安 (An) for a steadier frame, 文 (Wen) for a cultured register, 清 (Qing) for clarity or 宁 (Ning) for calm. Let the second character clarify the intended register rather than doubling an already strong image.
