名字 (míng zi)

--feedback--

This word means "name". Don't forget to type 5 at the end for neutral tone syllables.

--explanation--

名字 (míng zi) means "name". It generally refers to a person's full name, including both the family name (surname) and the given name (first name). For example:

我的名字是刘明 (wǒ de míng zi shì liú míng)。 - My name is Liu Ming.

​In specific contexts, 名字 (míng zi) can refer only to the given name.​​ This happens when it is contrasted with 姓 (xìng) (surname), such as on a form with separate fields for 姓 (xìng) and 名字 (míng zi).
