Jieqiong is Chinese in Origin.

Jieqiong (Mandarin pinyin Jiéqióng) is a Chinese given name formed from two hanzi, most often Jié (洁/婕/杰: pure; graceful; outstanding) and Qióng (琼/瓊: fine jade, exquisite). The combined sense evokes purity, elegance, and moral worth, with jade a classic symbol of beauty in Chinese culture. It is used mainly for girls, though character choice can render it unisex, and meanings vary with the specific hanzi selected.

Two-syllable names of this type have been widespread since the 20th century, drawing on literary imagery around qióng. A notable bearer is Zhou Jieqiong (Kyulkyung), a Chinese singer and dancer, which has helped internationalize the spelling. Variants include tone-marked Jiéqióng; Wade–Giles Chieh-ch'iung; and Cantonese Git King (often from 潔瓊). Common character pairings yield nuances such as 洁琼 “immaculate jade,” 婕琼 “elegant jade,” or 杰琼 “outstanding, fine jade.” In Sino-Vietnamese, the elements correspond to Khiết Quỳnh.
