庭（ting）
Name meaning
庭 (Ting) carries courtyard, family space and the cultivated interior world around a household hall. In a name it suggests warmth, order and an inwardly gathered dignity.
Practical naming use
庭 (Ting) is useful when a name needs courtyard, family hall rather than a generic pleasant sound. Its register is classic, warm, so it can support a unisex name that feels culturally legible, visually compact and easy to explain. The character should be paired with a second character that gives the image a human scene: learning, calm action, public responsibility, graceful movement or long-range aspiration.
Pair 庭 (Ting) with characters that soften or complete its core image. Bright partners make it more optimistic; scholarly partners make it more literate; water or nature partners make it calmer; virtue partners make it more formal.
庭安 (Tingan): Ting contributes courtyard, family hall; An adds peace, safety.
