Lee Hui is Chinese, Korean in Origin.
Lee Hui is a unisex compound name found in East Asian and Anglophone settings. Lee can come from English lēah, “meadow/clearing,” or represent the Chinese/Korean surname 李, “plum,” sometimes adopted as a given-name element abroad. Hui is Mandarin pinyin with meanings set by the chosen character: 慧 “wise,” 惠 “kind,” 辉/輝 “radiance,” or 暉 “sunshine.” In Korean, Hui/Hee (희/휘) draws on hanja like 慧, 熙, or 輝, conveying brightness and grace.
The pairing appears in Chinese, Korean, and Southeast Asian communities, gaining visibility in the 20th century through standardized romanization and bilingual naming. Variants include Lee, Leigh, Lea; Li, Yi, Rhee (for 李/이); and for Hui: Huei/Hwei (older), Wai (Cantonese for 慧/惠), Fai (輝), Hwee (Hokkien), Hee/Hwi (Korean), and Huy (Vietnamese). Overall the name blends nature or “plum” with wisdom, kindness, or light.
