The Chinese word “有名” means “famous” or “well-known”. It is commonly used to describe people, places, or things that are widely recognized or celebrated for their achievements or reputation. For example, you might say “这个演员很有名” to mean “this actor is very famous”. The phrase “有名无实” is also commonly used to describe something that is all hype and no substance.
