History & Origin

Xinyue is a Chinese girls' name written here in pinyin. Chinese given names are chosen for the sense and beauty of their characters, and more than one character pair is romanized Xinyue — carrying senses around 'heart,' 'new,' 'joy' or 'moon' depending on the writing. Without the characters, the meaning cannot be fixed, and we say so honestly (said 'shin-YOO-eh').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, Chinese, and lyrical.

Did you know? In Chinese naming, the meaning lives in the written characters, not the romanized spelling. Several different character pairs are all read Xinyue, so the name can mean quite different things — which is why we decline to pick one gloss (said 'shin-YOO-eh').
