Hi, I need urgent help with translation for my baby. His Mandarin name is Jun Wei, Jun as in
handsome and Wei as in great, "Wei Da". Can anyone kindly help with the Hokkien translation. Thank
you.

I would say Zun Wee. I liked in Amoy (Xiamen) for about 8 years and my wife is a Kulangsu local.

In Church Romanization:

俊偉 Chun Ui

In a modified pinyin orthography it would be: Zun Wi

"Chun Wee" also works, and that's how it would be romanized in Southeast Asia. There is no set
romanization scheme for names, so it's up to the baby's parents to decide.

In Hokkien, it is pronounced like "zun4 wi4" (4 being the fourth tone in Mandarin).

Thank you everybody. I will also try the Hokkien forum before deciding
