Zane carries the sense God is gracious (Hebrew via John); 'handsome' by re-spelling.
The Chinese name 赞恩 answers it with 赞 (To praise, to applaud) and 恩 (Grace, a kindness owed and returned) — 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.
The character itself: 因, the cause-and-depends-of-it, inside 心: the mind set on whatever moved you to good. Grace, favor, and the debt of gratitude that Chinese names consider the only debt worth carrying in a name. Full 恩 page →
Two-character seal: the name as a blessing praised aloud and repaid in full.
Zane is written 赞恩 in Mandarin (zàn ēn) — one character for the surname 赞 and one for the given name. The characters are chosen to carry the sound and the sense of Zane rather than to transliterate it letter by letter, which is how Chinese names are actually made. On this page the seal is carved in the Zhongshan King (中山王) bronze-inscription seal script, with the Academia Sinica Chongxi Small Seal (崇羲篆體) filling any character the main font lacks.
赞恩 breaks down as 赞 (zàn) — To praise, to applaud — in the old hand, driving oxen together and then the word for the cheering crowd at the market gate; 恩 (ēn) — Grace, a kindness owed and returned — 因 over 心: because of the heart. The seal note we would put under it: Two-character seal: the name as a blessing praised aloud and repaid in full.
Pinyin: zàn ēn — 赞 is tone 4 (a sharp fall, like a full stop); 恩 is tone 1 (a flat, level pitch held high). Mandarin has four tones plus a neutral tone, and getting them wrong is the most common mistake Western speakers make with Chinese names — the seal itself is unaffected, since the carving is of the written form.
Because names in Chinese are chosen, not inherited by sound. 恩 (ēn) reads grace, a kindness owed and returned — 因 over 心: because of the heart — and its own history runs: 因, the cause-and-depends-of-it, inside 心: the mind set on whatever moved you to good. Grace, favor, and the debt of gratitude that Chinese names consider the only debt worth carrying in a name.

A Chinese seal (印, yìn) is the 3,000-year-old answer to the signature: a carved stamp, classically in red cinnabar ink, pressed onto documents, paintings and letters. A name seal carries your name in seal script (篆書) — the calligraphic style of the Qin dynasty. Traditionally two kinds: 朱文 (characters in red) and 白文 (characters in white, carved out of a solid red field).
