Aimin is a Chinese given name most often romanizing Àimín. Commonly written 爱民 (Àimín, ai4‑min2), it means “love the people,” a virtue rooted in Confucian benevolence and echoed in modern civic ideals. Another frequent spelling is 爱敏/艾敏 (Àimǐn), “loving and quick/clever,” so the name can be masculine or feminine. Variants and transliterations include Ai‑min, Ai Min, Àimín/Àimǐn (tone‑marked pinyin); Oi‑man in Cantonese (愛民/愛敏); and Aemin in Korean hanja‑based naming (愛民).

Use of Aimin rose in mainland China from the 1950s through the 1970s, when virtue‑and‑people‑centered names gained favor; it remains familiar across the Chinese diaspora, though rarer among newborns today. In Hong Kong the Oi‑man form appears in mid‑to‑late 20th‑century given names, while in Korea Aemin is occasional. Meaning ultimately depends on the chosen characters, but core themes are affection, civic‑mindedness, and intelligence.
