Title:
My
Chinese
Name
–
Jiā
Yán My
Chinese
name
is
Jiā
Yán,
which
translates
to
"home"
and
"smoke"
in
English.
It
was
chosen
by
my
parents
because
they
wanted
a
name
that
conveyed
a
sense
of
coziness
and
warmth. I
feel
proud
to
have
a
Chinese
name
because
it
connects
me
to
my
heritage
and
culture.
Although
I
was
born
and
raised
in
the
United
States,
my
parents
have
always
made
an
effort
to
teach
me
about
our
heritage
and
traditions.
One
of
the
most
significant
ways
they
have
done
this
is
through
my
name. Learning
how
to
write
my
name
in
Chinese
characters
was
a
challenge
at
first,
but
now
it
feels
like
second
nature.
I
love
how
the
characters
look
and
the
meaning
behind
them.
They
reflect
my
personality
and
values. My
name
also
serves
as
a
reminder
of
my
family's
history.
Both
of
my
parents
grew
up
in
Taiwan
and
immigrated
to
the
United
States
in
their
early
twenties.
My
name
helps
me
feel
connected
to
their
journey
and
the
sacrifices
they
made
to
provide 『浏览更多 十二星座与性格文章请关注 :浣熊星座知识网,wWW.ImhuAnxiOng.coM」
a
better
life
for
me. Overall,
I
am
grateful
to
have
a
Chinese
name
that
celebrates
my
heritage,
identity,
and
family
history.
It
has
played
a
significant
role
in
shaping
who
I
am
today
and
will
always
be
a
part
of
my
identity.
