Jingxuan is Chinese in Origin.

Jingxuan is a modern Mandarin Chinese given name, written in pinyin as Jingxuan and often spaced as Jing Xuan; older romanizations include Ching-hsüan and Jing-hsuan. It is unisex and pronounced roughly jeeng-shwän in Mandarin, with tones varying by characters. The name combines Jing (静 quiet; 景 scenery/admiration; 晶 crystalline; 靖 pacify) with Xuan (轩 lofty/portico; 宣 proclaim; 璇 fine jade/star).

Because many hanzi pairs are possible, meanings differ: 静轩 suggests “serene and lofty,” 景轩 “admired and elevated,” 晶璇 “crystal and jade - radiant,” 靖宣 “peaceful proclamation,” or 景宣 “to make illustrious.” The morpheme 轩, attested in classical texts for a high-roofed carriage, lends scholarly and aristocratic overtones, while 璇 evokes constellations in traditional astronomy. Usage has grown since the late 20th century in mainland China and the diaspora, reflecting a trend for elegant, two-syllable compounds with refined imagery. Cantonese forms include Zing-hyun or Zing-syun, depending on characters.
