The Chinese word 海浪 (hǎilàng) for "wave" is a compound of two characters: 海 (hǎi), meaning "sea", and 浪 (làng), meaning "wave". The character 海 is a pictograph of water with waves on top, while the character 浪 is a phonetic compound of the character 水 (shuǐ), meaning "water", and the character 郎 (láng), meaning "man". The combination of these two characters creates the word 海浪, which literally means "wave of the sea".
