遥（yao）
Name meaning
遥 (yao), traditional 遙 (Yao), means distant, far-reaching or remote. In a given name it should suggest long vision and free range, not emotional distance.
Practical naming use
Use 遥 (yao) for a name that should feel far-sighted, open and unconfined. It suits travel, scholarship, art, diplomacy, science or a person whose image is broad perspective rather than narrow ambition.
