Hanlinh is Vietnamese in Origin.

Hanlinh is a modern Vietnamese compound given name, most often representing the diacritic forms Hân Linh or Hàn Linh. Linh derives from Sino-Vietnamese linh (靈), meaning “spirit, soul, numinous,” widely used in Vietnam since the late 20th century. Hân (欣) means “joy, gladness,” giving the favored interpretation “joyful spirit”; Hàn can mean “cold, pure/clear,” yielding readings like “pure spirit.” Because Vietnamese diacritics are often dropped in diaspora contexts and on official forms, the two-word name is frequently compressed to Hanlinh.

Usage is unisex but tends to skew feminine due to Linh’s popularity for girls. Variants and spellings include Han Linh, Han-Linh, Hân Linh, Hàn Linh, and Hán Linh; a related form is Hạnh Linh (“virtuous spirit”). Short forms include Linh and Han/Hân. The name reflects Vietnam’s long tradition of two-element given names built from Sino-Vietnamese morphemes with layered, auspicious meanings.
