Choosing a name is one of the most important gifts you can give — whether it’s for a newborn, a business, or even a personal name change. In Chinese culture, names are more than just sounds and letters. They carry energy, influence destiny, and can open the door to prosperity, health, and harmony.
At Prosperity Naming, we combine ancient Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny) principles with traditional Chinese Feng Shui wisdom to select names that perfectly align with your birth chart. The result? A name that supports success in every stage of life.
A Time-Honoured Tradition in Ancient China
In ancient China, naming was considered an art reserved for the most respected Feng Shui masters. Wealthy families, scholars, and members of the royal court would seek expert guidance to ensure that every name — whether for a child, a business, or even a home — was chosen to bring fortune, longevity, and honour to the family. The emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties, for example, commissioned imperial astrologers and Bazi masters to analyse birth charts, match auspicious characters, and ensure the name aligned with the family’s destiny and the empire’s prosperity. This tradition was a symbol of refinement, wisdom, and cultural prestige — a practice still valued by discerning families today.
Why Bazi Matters in Naming
Bazi, or the Four Pillars of Destiny, is a time-tested Chinese metaphysical system that analyses your birth year, month, day, and hour. By revealing your unique balance of the Five Elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water — Bazi identifies which elements you need more of, and your name can be designed to provide exactly that balance.
When your name resonates with your personal Bazi chart:
- Your career path becomes smoother
- Relationships and family life feel more harmonious
- Wealth opportunities are more abundant
- Health and vitality are naturally supported
The Power of a Prosperity Name
In Feng Shui naming, the right combination of characters, sounds, and elements can amplify positive energy while avoiding potential challenges. A Prosperity Name is:
- Element-balanced — supporting your weakest elements and enhancing your strongest
- Phonetically harmonious — pleasant to say, easy to remember
- Meaning-rich — carrying auspicious meanings for luck, wealth, and happiness

FAQ – Traditional Chinese Feng Shui Naming
How did ancient Chinese families choose names?
In traditional Chinese culture, names were chosen after consulting Bazi experts and Feng Shui masters. Wealthy families often held elaborate naming ceremonies, where the chosen name would reflect the child’s destiny, family values, and desired blessings for health, success, and honour.
Is Bazi naming still relevant today?
Yes. While modern life has changed, the principles of Bazi remain timeless. A balanced name can still help align your energy, attract opportunities, and reduce obstacles in career, relationships, and health.
Can a name really influence my future?
In Feng Shui, your name is part of your personal energy blueprint. The right name supports harmony between you and your environment, making it easier to achieve your goals and maintain well-being.
What's the difference between Bazi naming and regular naming?
Regular naming often focuses on sound and meaning alone. Bazi naming, however, considers the individual's birth chart, the Five Elements, and the energetic harmony needed for a prosperous life.
Who should consider Bazi naming?
Parents naming a newborn, entrepreneurs creating a business name, or anyone seeking to change their name for better life alignment can benefit from this ancient practice.
