History & Origin

Xiyue is a Chinese given name written here in pinyin romanization. Chinese names take their sense from the written characters, so a single romanized spelling can cover several quite different names; the yue syllable often carries 'moon' or 'joy; music', and xi can mean 'hope', 'joy' or 'dawn'. Without the characters, the meaning is uncertain, which we note (said 'shee-YOO-eh').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S., carried mostly by Chinese-American families. Rare, heritage-rooted, and elegant.

Did you know? In Chinese, two names spelled the same in the Latin alphabet can mean completely different things — the characters decide. So Xiyue's meaning cannot be pinned down from the spelling alone, which we note (said 'shee-YOO-eh').
