I got an email from 郭涛 and at first I thought it must be spam. I get a lot of spam with Chinese characters. But then I noticed it was a reply to an email I sent to a Chinese company's customer service technical support.

The reply was very helpful and I wanted to add 郭涛 to my contact list but I needed some English translation right?

Normal google translate just told me Guō Tāo which is fine. But still, what did the characters mean?

Guō: Literally means "outer city wall" or "city enclosure", symbolizing protection, defense, or a stronghold.

Tāo: Means "big waves" or "surging tides". Conveys a sense of power, momentum, and unstoppable force.

Okay now we are getting somewhere...

Then I asked would "stronghold of big waves" be the right english?

And AI told me some better options:

Fortress of the Rising Tide Stormwall

I have a new contact in my gmail now:

First Name: Fortress of the Rising Tide 涛 Guo Last Name: Stormwall 郭 Tao
