Naming strategySemantic translation

Oracle's Chinese name 甲骨文 (Jiǎ gǔ wén) is a brilliant semantic translation — it means 'oracle bone script', the earliest form of Chinese writing carved on animal bones and shells during the Shang dynasty (~1600-1046 BCE). The connection to oracles (prophetesses who read the future from bones) perfectly captures the brand name while giving it deep Chinese historical resonance.
