Chan Jing is Chinese in Origin.
Chan Jing blends Chinese linguistic streams. As Chánjìng (禪靜) in Mandarin it reads “meditative stillness,” pairing chán “Zen; contemplation” with jìng “calm, quiet” (also written 靖 “peaceful” or 静 “serene”). More commonly in Cantonese communities it appears as the surname Chan (陳, Chén in pinyin) followed by the given name Jing (静/靖/晶/景 etc.), yielding readings from “serene” and “peace-restoring” to “crystal-bright” or “scenic.” Usage is unisex and found in Hong Kong and Southeast Asian Chinese diasporas, where mixed romanization - Cantonese surname plus pinyin given name - is common.
Variants include Chen Jing (mandarinized surname), Tan Jing (Hokkien/Teochew for 陳), and Chan Ching/Chen Ching (Cantonese or Wade–Giles for Jing). Alternative second syllables depend on the chosen character: Jing can be Jìng, Jīng, or Jǐng, each with distinct meanings. Related doublets include Jing'an, Jingyi, and Jingwen. Though rarer, Chan as 禪 (Zen) may also be used as a dharma-style given element in Buddhist contexts.
Chan Jing doesn't appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. Such a name is generally either rare, regional or traditional, or a brand-new coinage. By any reading, it's an exceptionally uncommon choice.
