If you’ve always dreamed of giving baby an unusual name with a powerful meaning, He may be the one for you. This monosyllabic name of Chinese origins is gender-neutral. While it may be a personal pronoun in the English-speaking world, in China, He is a beautiful and brief given name that has multiple meanings, including “celebrate,” “harmony,” “peace,” “river,” and “stream.” It also means “lotus” or “water lily” when used for baby girls. The name conjures images of peaceful, serene rivers filled with waterlilies that wind through sun-dappled forests—a pretty idyllic association for baby He if there is one!
