Daishan is Chinese in Origin.
Daishan is a Sino-Manchu name whose meaning depends on the characters chosen in Chinese. Common pairings include 岱山 (Dàishān), evoking the sacred Mount Tai and conveying “lofty/sacred mountain,” and 代善 (Dàishàn), a phonetic rendering meaning “representing goodness” by its literal characters; another modern, more ornamental choice is 戴珊 (Dàishān), “adorned with coral.” The name also appears in toponyms, notably Daishan County (岱山县) in Zhejiang, reinforcing its nature-linked imagery.
In historical use, Daišan (代善, 1583–1648) was a prominent Manchu prince of the Aisin-Gioro house, which gives the name a Qing-dynasty association. As a given name today it is rare but cross-cultural, used by Chinese speakers and the diaspora for its virtue or mountain symbolism; it can be gender-neutral. Variants and spellings include Dai Shan, Dai-shan, Dàishān (with tones), and the Manchu form Daišan.
Daishan turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. Most often that means a rare name, a regional or heritage one, or a recent coinage. By any reading, it's an exceptionally uncommon choice.
