贝宝

PayPal is phonetically rendered as 贝宝 (Bèi bǎo) in Chinese. 贝 means 'shell/money' (ancient Chinese shells were used as currency) and 宝 means 'treasure/precious'. The name accidentally carries a perfect financial meaning — 'money treasure' — making it one of the more fitting coincidental translations.
