About the name Scarlett

Scarlett carries the sense Scarlet, the deep red (from the Latin for a type of fish).

The Chinese name 斯嘉 answers it with 斯 (This, here and now) and 嘉 (Excellent, praiseworthy; to celebrate) — chosen for sound and sense together, the way a Chinese parent chooses a name rather than the way a wire service transliterates one.

Carved in the Zhongshan King (中山王) bronze-inscription seal script, the name sits on the seal face as a worked square, not a typed line.

斯嘉, character by character

斯sī
This, here and now — the demonstrative of the classics; also to cut, the axe's first meaning.

The character itself: From 其 beside 斤, the handle of an axe. The character began as the sound this tool made, and carried the word break. The modern sense is a particle: this, such. 斯文 is the reason it reads gently — the axe-handle, refined. Full 斯 page →

嘉jiā
Excellent, praiseworthy; to celebrate — the word on a school's prize scroll.

The character itself: 加, the increasing, over 壴 the drum-stand on its base — the feast, the toast, the fine — the celebration of what you approve is built into the character’s table and its praise. Full 嘉 page →

Scarlett in Chinese: questions

How do you write Scarlett in Chinese characters?

Scarlett is written 斯嘉 in Mandarin (sī jiā) — one character for the surname 斯 and one for the given name. The characters are chosen to carry the sound and the sense of Scarlett rather than to transliterate it letter by letter, which is how Chinese names are actually made.

What does the Chinese name 斯嘉 mean?

How is 斯嘉 pronounced?

Pinyin: sī jiā — 斯 is tone 1 (a flat, level pitch held high); 嘉 is tone 1 (a flat, level pitch held high).

Why use the character 嘉 for a name?

Because names in Chinese are chosen, not inherited by sound. 嘉 (jiā) reads excellent, praiseworthy; to celebrate — the word on a school's prize scroll — and its own history runs: 加, the increasing, over 壴 the drum-stand on its base — the feast, the toast, the fine — the celebration of what you approve is built into the character’s table and its praise.
