Demei is Chinese in Origin.
Demei is a Mandarin romanization of several Chinese given names, most often written 德美 (dé “virtue” + měi “beautiful”), 得美 (“attain” + “beautiful”), or 德梅 (dé “virtue” + méi “plum blossom”). Depending on the characters, it is pronounced Déměi or Déméi. The pairing evokes moral excellence joined with beauty or the resilient plum, making it broadly unisex but commonly feminine.
The name appears across the 20th century in Mainland China, Taiwan, and diaspora communities. Romanization produces variants such as De-mei/De Mei (pinyin), Te/Teh-mei (Wade–Giles), and Tak-mei (Cantonese). Related forms in usage include Demei, De Mei, and De-mei; Demi serves as an English nickname, though unrelated to Greek Demetria. Meaning always follows the chosen characters.
