Chan Jie is Chinese in Origin.

Chan Jie is a Chinese name combining the Cantonese romanization Chan for the surname 陳 (Mandarin Chen) with the given name element Jie in Hanyu Pinyin. 陳 goes back to the Zhou-era state of Chen and is among the most common Chinese surnames, especially in Cantonese-speaking regions. Jie matches several characters, notably 杰/傑 ‘outstanding, eminent’, 洁/潔 ‘pure’, and 捷 ‘swift; triumphant’. The exact meaning depends on the chosen character and tone; the name typically conveys excellence, purity, or success and is broadly unisex.

Variants by romanization and dialect include Chen Jie (Mandarin), Chan Kit (if 傑), Tan Kiat (Hokkien/Teochew), Ch’en Chieh (Wade–Giles), and Vietnamese forms such as Trần Kiệt (傑) or Trần Khiết (潔). In Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia, hybrid spellings like Chan Jie became common in the later 20th century as families mixed Cantonese surnames with Pinyin given names.
