Faxin is in Origin.

Faxin is a Mandarin Chinese given name, most often a monastic dharma name. It combines Fǎ 法, "law; the Buddhist Dharma," with Xìn 信, "faith; trust," yielding the sense "faith in the Dharma" or "trust in right principle." Depending on the chosen character for xin, it can alternatively mean "delight in the Dharma" (欣) or "renewal of the Dharma" (新). Romanized without tones as Faxin; with tones as Fǎxìn or Fǎxīn.

Within the Sino-Buddhist tradition, Faxin appears across medieval and later monastic records and remains in use among clerics of various schools; in secular contexts it is rarer but understood as a virtue name. The name is unisex in Chinese. Variant spacings and systems produce Fa Xin, Fa-hsin, or Fa Shin. Related but distinct is Faxian (Fǎxiǎn, 法顯), the 4th-5th century pilgrim; Faxin shares the Fa- "Dharma" prefix yet carries a different second element and meaning.
