Jingmei is Chinese in Origin.
Jingmei is a Mandarin Chinese given name composed of Jing and Mei, with meaning contingent on the written characters. Common pairings include 静美 (Jìngměi, “calm/serene beauty”), 景美 (Jǐngměi, “beautiful scenery”), 晶美 (Jīngměi, “sparkling beauty”), 菁美 (Jīngměi, “refined/verdant beauty”), 靖美 (Jìngměi, “peaceful beauty”), and 景梅 or 静梅, which invoke the plum blossom’s symbolism of resilience and purity. The name is strongly feminine when Mei is 美 “beauty” or 梅 “plum,” and it reads naturally in standard pinyin as Jingmei or Jing-mei.
Used across Mainland China and Taiwan since the mid-20th century, Jingmei fits the modern two-syllable style for women’s names while drawing on classical imagery. Romanization variants include Jingmei, Jing-mei, and the older Wade-Giles Ching-mei; tone-marked forms clarify pronunciation (Jìngměi/Jǐngměi/Jīngměi). The name is familiar to English readers through Amy Tan’s character Jing-mei “June” Woo in The Joy Luck Club, and it also appears as a toponym in Taipei (Jingmei).
