Baoying is Chinese in Origin.

Baoying is a Mandarin Chinese given name (pinyin Bǎoyīng), typically unisex but more common for girls, whose sense depends on the chosen characters. Frequent spellings include 宝英 (“treasured excellence/heroic virtue,” with 英 also evoking “flowering”), 宝莹 (“precious and lustrous [like jade]”), and 葆英 (“to preserve excellence”); other pairings such as 宝颖 (“precious and clever/keen”) occur as well. In all cases, bao signals value or protection, while ying contributes brilliance, talent, or graceful beauty.

Documented across the Chinese-speaking world throughout the 20th century, the name appears in older sources under Wade–Giles as Pao-ying and in Cantonese-leaning romanizations as Bo/Po Ying (Jyutping bou2 jing1 for 宝英). Related forms include Korean Bo-yeong and Vietnamese Bảo Anh as cross-linguistic analogs using similar morphemes. Note that Baoying as a place name in Jiangsu (宝应) employs a different ying (“to respond”) and thus carries a distinct meaning.
