又称

又称 is a Chinese term used to indicate an alternative name or title for something or someone. It is commonly used in formal or descriptive contexts to introduce another name, often highlighting the significance or different aspect of the subject.

The character 又 (yòu) means 'again' or 'also,' and 称 (chēng) means 'to call' or 'to name.' Together, they form a phrase that conveys the idea of an additional name or designation.

又称 is frequently seen in dictionaries, encyclopedias, or official documents when introducing an alternate name for a person, place, or concept. It helps clarify or provide more context, especially when something has multiple names in different regions or languages.
