中名（彌成反名幖幟也亦所以名質也自命也左傳名以制義廣疋名成也字從口從夕夕則不相見須口以名之字意也）。

中名 Name therein (mí + chéng fanqie; a "name" is a banner or sign; it is also that by which an entity is named; it designates itself. Zuozhuan: "Names are used to institute meanings." Guangya: 名 means to complete or achieve. The character is composed of "mouth" (口) and "evening" (夕); in the evening people cannot see one another and must use the mouth to name themselves—this is the intended sense of the character).
