How
My
Parents
Named
Me As
a
child,
I
always
wondered
how
my
parents
came
up
with
my
name.

until
I
asked
them
about
it
that
I
finally
got
the
full
story. My
parents
are
both
from
China
and
immigrated
to
the
United
States
before
I
was
born.
In
Chinese
culture,
names
hold
a
lot
of
significance
and
can
often
be
chosen
based
on
the
meaning
behind
them.
My
parents
wanted
to
make
sure
that
my
name
had
a
positive
meaning
and
would
bring
good
fortune
to
me
throughout
my
life. After
doing
some
research,
my
parents
settled
on
the
name
"Emily."
In
Chinese,
the
name
means
"industrious"
and
"hardworking."
My
parents
liked
the
name
because
it
represented
qualities
that
they
hoped
I
would
possess
as
I
grew
older. However,
they
didn't
just
choose
the
name
based
on
its
meaning.
My
dad
was
a
big
fan
of
the
character
Emily
Bronte
from
the
classic
novel
"Wuthering
Heights."
He
admired
her
strong
and
independent
spirit
and
wanted
me
to
be
similarly
strong-willed
and
determined. Overall,
my
parents
carefully
considered
the
meaning
and
significance
behind
my
name.
They
wanted
to
choose
a
name
that
would
not
only
be
meaningful
to
them,
but
also
to
me
as
I
went
through
life.
I
feel
grateful
to
have
a
name
that
holds
so
much
importance,
and
I
hope
to
live
up
to
the
qualities
that
it
represents.
