Xiu-ying
shyoo-ying
Origin:Chinese
Meaning:Beautiful flower, petal; Bravery, heroism
Xiu-ying is a feminine name of Chinese origin, meaning "beautiful flower" or "petal." In Taoism, flowers represent growth and change during the four seasons. The lotus, in particular, signifies purity due to its ability to bloom in marshy conditions and muddy waters. Delicate as a flower may be, the name Xiu-ying may also translate to “bravery” or “heroism”—two characteristics your bold little one is sure to embody. When baby arrives in your life, a name like Xiu-ying will inspire them to flourish under the guidance of the universe.
