What is the meaning of the name Ching ?

The baby name Ching is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced English: /tʃɪŋ/; Mandarin equivalent 'Qíng' (approx. [tɕiŋ], pronounced like 'ching').

Ching is Chinese in Origin.

Ching is a unisex Chinese given name and name element. A romanization that bundles multiple sounds and characters: in Wade-Giles, Ch’ing corresponds to modern pinyin Qing, and Ching to pinyin Jing; in Cantonese and Hakka some similar syllables are also written Ching. The form appears widely in 19th–20th century records from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, and among overseas Chinese, because older systems and English paperwork often omitted tones and apostrophes.

Its meaning depends on the chosen hanzi. Examples include 清/青 "clear, blue-green; purity, youth," 晴 "sunny," 情 "feeling, affection," 慶 "celebration," 靜 "quiet," 晶 "sparkling," 敬 "respect," and 京 "capital." Variants and spellings include Qing, Jing, Ch’ing (with apostrophe), Tsing (postal), and many compound given names such as Ching-Li, Ching-Wen, or Mei-Ching. Contemporary Mainland China favors pinyin spellings Qing or Jing, while Ching remains familiar in Hong Kong/Taiwan heritage names and in Anglicized usage.
