Chinese names mostly consist of three characters. While not the norm, two and four character names can be found. The first character is usually the family name while the last one, two or three are the given name.

As with everything there are some exception to the rule. There are times when in a four character name that the first two characters are the family name. Note that is a usually a rare occurrence.

In a Chinese name, the family name comes first, followed by the given name. For example, in the name "Li Bai," Li is the family name and Bai is the given name.
