This is a long list of Chinese male names extracted from the historical fiction, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The story in this classic is based on the Three Kingdom period in Chinese history somewhere between year 220 to 280. There are many characters in the story. From these characters, we find a wealth of Chinese male names.
Note that the names are majority in two characters consisting of the surname and a given name. This must be the practice during that period, to only have one character given name.
Below, I have translated part of them. The surname which is the first character is not translated. The translation is only on the second and third characters.
