Changxi is Chinese in Origin.

Changxi (Mandarin Pinyin Chángxī) is a Chinese name with mythological roots. In classical lore, 常羲 is the lunar goddess, consort of Di Jun, and mother of the twelve moons, paired with Xihe, the solar mother; she appears in the Shan Hai Jing and the Huainanzi. The graph 常 means “constant, enduring,” while 羲 is an archaic character linked to brightness and to mythic culture heroes (as in Fuxi). Because 羲 is rare, modern given names often substitute 曦 (“first light, dawn”), yielding the auspicious sense “enduring dawnlight.”

As a given name Changxi is uncommon but culturally resonant, and tends to be used for girls due to the goddess association, though Chinese names are broadly unisex. Variants and romanizations include Chang Xi, Ch’ang-hsi (Wade-Giles), and Cantonese Seung-hei (常羲). Related elements include Xi (曦/熙/希/禧) and the mythic counterpart Xihe; meaning varies with the chosen characters.
