Where can I find the meaning of Chinese names?

So I'm working on a paper for school (a fictional research paper), and I've decided to write it on a Tien-Lung (a Chinese dragon who guards Heaven.) So far, I'm having a lot of trouble finding a list of Chinese names and their meanings. Can someone guide me?|||there is no list of Chinese names because each name is original and created by parents...


only if you know Chinese language can you get the characters and the meaning...


Sky Dragon is 澶╅緳 tian-long-12|||Ok, so first are we talking about standard mandarin (simplified), or are you talking about traditional mandarin.





Also, "Tien-Lung" as you put it, is not simplified mandarin nor traditional mandarin. it is Cantonese PinYin, not mandarin PinYin.





If you wanted it in standard Mandarin PinYin it would be 'Tian Long'





Tian (澶? - meaning sky, or heaven.


Long (榫? - meaning dragon.
