Jiang-Li is Chinese in Origin.

Jiang-Li is a Mandarin Chinese compound given name formed from two characters; the hyphen is a Western romanization convention to show the disyllabic unity of the name. Jiang commonly represents 江 “river” (also a major surname) or the rarer 蔣/蒋 “wormwood; a surname,” while Li may be 丽/麗 “beautiful,” 力 “strength,” 立 “establish,” 理 “reason,” or 礼/禮 “ritual propriety.” Meanings depend on the chosen characters, yielding readings such as “beautiful river” (江丽), “river of strength” (江力), or “upright by the river” (江立).

Two-character given names have been standard in Chinese naming since antiquity, though hyphenation arose with modern pinyin and Western publishing norms. Jiang-Li is unisex, with feminine lean if using 丽 and more neutral or masculine feel with 力 or 立. Variants include Jiangli, Jiang Li, and tone-marked forms like Jiāng-lì; older systems offer Chiang-li (Wade–Giles) or Kiang-li. The name appears in contemporary media, enhancing its familiarity abroad.
