名誉

名誉 refers to a person's or organization's reputation, honor, or standing in society. It is often associated with respect and credibility gained through actions or achievements.

The character 名 (míng) means 'name' or 'reputation,' while 誉 (yù) means 'praise' or 'honor.' Together, they form a term that emphasizes the value of one's public image and moral integrity.

名誉 is commonly used in contexts related to personal or professional conduct, such as maintaining a good name or losing one's reputation. In Chinese culture, maintaining a good reputation is considered essential for social and familial harmony.
