Plenty!
I was asked an interesting question today by my fellow fan friend and it made me wonder why I had never thought of this all these years....viz....
What is the meaning of Jay's Chinese name?
After all, it's a well-known fact that Chinese parents take great care in choosing 'good' names for their offspring, in the hopes that doing so will auger well for them in their lifetime.
I guess Jay's parents were no different as my research into 周杰伦 revealed and which I shall share with all of you here.
First off, let's start with his family name, 周,which is not really a name one gets to choose...lol!
But it ranks as the tenth most common surname in Mainland China and has been since the Yuan dynasty.
Check out Wikipedia.....yes, Jay is mentioned. ;)
There are various meanings attached to it eg all-round, attentive, thoughtful, whole.
**************
Next we come to 杰 (jie) for which the meanings essentially are prominent, distinguished and an outstanding person!
***********
And lastly, 伦,(lun) which has connotations related to human relationship, order, coherence, ethics....all very good things to have indeed.
*********
So in a nutshell, the name 周杰伦 (zhou jie lun) can be roughly translated into:
An all-round prominent and outstanding person who is ethical and values human relationships.
Wow!
Don't you think that sums up all that is great about our Jay Chou???
We all know he is awesome in every aspect, has a strong sense of values, an unbelievable work ethic and treasures his family, friends and fans.
Thank you, Mama and Papa Chou!
You guys certainly knew what you were doing when you chose his name!

I shall end off with some simply stunning and fabulous photos of Jay, taken from his recent shoot with Jody Chiang and A-mei for the Golden Melody Awards.
I swear, this man is just getting handsomer and handsomer and that all-black outfit and boots is, in one word, DIAO.
