History & Origin

Lingxi is a Chinese given name written here in romanized form. Because Mandarin has many characters for each sound, ling may carry ideas such as 'spirit' or 'chime', and xi ideas such as 'dawn' or 'hope' — but only the written characters settle it. The name is used in Chinese-speaking families and in the diaspora. We report the uncertainty plainly (said 'LING-shee').

It appears only very rarely in U.S. records. Rare here, at home in Chinese-speaking families.

Did you know? In Chinese, two names that sound the same can mean quite different things — Lingxi could carry 'spirit' and 'dawn', or other senses entirely, depending on the characters. We note that rather than pick one (said 'LING-shee').
