Can anyone explain the pictograph representation of 巴拉斯 please? My understanding so far is that:


巴 means a huge snake.
拉 means like a crop (wheat) and barn (store house).
斯 - this one is hardest to understand as it’s quite ancient.


The word in its entirety means something on the lines of:


  The hope to draw/pull to heaven/present 


I am no scholar and my knowledge of Mandarin or Cantonese is very poor.
巴 (u+5df4) originally means "legendary gigantic snake", when it eats an elephant, it looks 3 year to excrete the skeleton of the elephant.

拉 (u+62c9) originally means "break", it does not mean "like a crops (wheat) and barn"

斯 (u+65af) originally means "cleave with an ax"

these these characters have difference meanings now, the above explanation would be correct only in the context of etymology.

well, "巴拉斯" together, sounds similar to your name "bharath"; at least in cantonese. interesting.

have fun :)
