Definition
喆 (zhé) is a variant form of 哲 (zhé), meaning 'wisdom' or 'philosophy'. It is used almost exclusively in personal names (given names and surnames) and carries the same auspicious connotation of intelligence and insight. In modern Chinese, it is less common than 哲 but appears in famous names like the writer 琼瑶 (real name 陈喆).
