Chen Jiao is Chinese in Origin.

Chen Jiao is a Mandarin Chinese full name, with Chen (陈/陳) as the surname and Jiao as the given name. Chen derives from an ancient Zhou‑era state and the verb “to display/arrange”; it is among the most common Han Chinese surnames. Romanizations vary by dialect and system: Chen (pinyin), Ch’en (Wade‑Giles), Chan (Cantonese), Tan (Hokkien/Teochew), Trần (Vietnamese), and Jin/Chin in Korean/Japanese contexts.

Jiao can be written with several characters, shaping the meaning: 娇/嬌 “delicate, charming,” 姣 “beautiful,” 佼 “outstanding,” or 皎 “bright, pure.” It skews feminine with 娇/姣 but is technically unisex. The name appears in early records - most notably Empress Chen Jiao (陳嬌) of the Western Han. Given‑name romanizations include Jiao (pinyin) and Chiao (Wade‑Giles); in Cantonese it may appear as Giu or Gaau depending on the character, and as Kiau in Hokkien. Overall, Chen Jiao evokes grace, beauty, or luminous purity, depending on characters chosen.
