Chuyi is Chinese in Origin.

Chuyi is a Mandarin Chinese given name written with various characters, so its meaning depends on the hanzi selected. Popular pairings include 初一 (Chūyī), “first day” (of a lunar month), often evoking fresh starts; 楚怡 (Chǔyí), “distinct/clear” + “cheerful, placid”; and 处一 (Chǔyī), “to abide in oneness,” with a meditative, Daoist nuance. The name is typically unisex and follows the common two-syllable pattern of modern Chinese naming.

Attested in classical usage, it appears in the Jin–Yuan era Daoist master Wang Chuyi 王处一, where 处一 expressed spiritual unity. Today, parents may choose Chuyi to commemorate a child born on the first day of the lunar year. Romanization varies: standard Pinyin Chuyi, hyphenated Chu-yi or spaced Chu Yi, and in older Wade–Giles, Chu-i; tones are often omitted abroad. In Cantonese contexts, related forms may be rendered Cho-yi/Cho-yee, while the calendar term 初一 itself is read Cho-yat.
