Fei-Fei is a Mandarin Chinese given name formed by reduplication of Fei, written in Pinyin. The syllable Fei can be represented by several characters; popular choices include 飞/飛 (“to fly; swift”), 菲 (“fragrant; luxuriant”), 斐 (“ornate; brilliant”), and 妃 (“consort”). Doubling a syllable is a long-standing Chinese naming pattern that conveys endearment or emphasis, so Fei-Fei often suggests “soaring,” “gracefully fragrant,” or “radiantly elegant,” depending on the characters. Usage is unisex, though it skews feminine when written with 菲 or 妃.

Variants include Feifei and Fei Fei; in Cantonese and other Sinitic varieties the pronunciation remains close, and the same characters may be used. Fei-Fei can serve as a formal name or a childhood name that endures. Notable bearers include computer scientist Fei-Fei Li. A different, humorous nickname spelling 肥肥 (“plump”) is also seen in Cantonese pop culture.
