About Her Chinese Name
Sarah Grace in China was known as Chang Xiao Chao. It is shown in Chinese characters above. For more on why she is called Sarah Grace in English, click here.
CHANG
Her surname, Chang, is used for all the children from the same orphanage, the Changde Social Welfare Institute, so it is not really an integral part of her name. For more on the character and sound, however, and links to etymology etc., please click here.
XIAO
or in modern Mainland reformed character, 
Xiao, in the tone and character used in her name, means "dawn". For more on the character, including links to sound files etc., check out this Chinese dictionary site.
CHAO
Chao, the other component of her personal name, means "exceeding", or "going beyond". We find it interesting that it's also used in such compounds as "superpower" and "supermarket", so perhaps we have a superbaby, or at least a "super-dawn".
