Lee Fai is Chinese in Origin.
Lee Fai is a Sino-English given name used in Cantonese-speaking communities and among bilingual families. Lee may be the English unisex name from Old English leah (clearing; meadow) or the romanization of the East Asian surname Li/Lee, often written 李 (plum) or 利 (benefit). Fai is Cantonese, typically written 輝/暉, meaning radiance or brilliance, a favored male name element in Hong Kong.
Adopted from the mid-20th century onward, the pairing reflects Hong Kong practices of spacing given-name syllables and Western influence on naming. Variants include Lee-Fai, Li Hui (Mandarin pinyin for 李輝/李暉), and Lei Fai (alternate Cantonese spelling); Leigh Fai appears in English contexts. Related forms are simply Fai or Hui. Exact meaning depends on the hanzi selected, with combinations like 李輝 conveying “plum + brilliance.”
Lee Fai is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 3 times, across 1 country.
