Corrected name translation for Zhan Wei Ling

A friend sent me a website where you can look up the meaning of a Chinese name by looking at the Chinese character for the name. The translations turn out to be different from those found on an American baby names site. I love the meanings of her name. See below:

Zhan (4 meanings): Chinese surname meaning deep and clear. Connotes a tranquil and calm personality. That should serve her well in our house!


Wei (13 meanings): To hold fast or stand firm; to maintain or preserve (like preserve peace, which could also serve her well in our house!)

Ling (11 meanings): Intelligent, clever, and quick - like her mom :-); or soul or spirit
