Translating "Nick"

[crystak]

Google translation returned: 尼克

I know nick can also mean to steal something so I thought I'd ask here first if that's right or not?

If not, then what would be the chinese equivalent of the name?

Thanks

If you want your name in Chinese to mean "to steal something", then 尼克 is probably not the right one for you ;)

Have a read of this post. English names can't really be directly translated into Chinese. What you have here is a transliteration of the name.

What your really looking for, is that Nick (Nicholas) means "victory of the people (i.e. People's victory)" apparently, so you would need the Chinese words for that if you wanted to be literal, which would probably come out as silly I would assume. I can't really read/write yet, but the translater gives out "人民的胜利", not sure how accurate that is, and probably sucks for a name.

My translation of Nick (Nicholas) would be 勝民. That looks more like a Chinese name, but that might look like "be better than the people."

Or you can use Cantonese to transliterate. Then you could really get a character that means "to take": 搦. as in 搦走.
