Lee Yue is Chinese in Origin.

Lee Yue blends an English and a Chinese element. Lee is an English given name from Old English leah ‘clearing, meadow’, later adopted widely as a unisex first or middle name; it also matches the common East Asian surname romanized Lee (李, Korean 이), sometimes retained as a given name to honor heritage. Yue is Mandarin pinyin for several characters, most often 月 ‘moon; month’, 悦/悅 ‘delight’, or 乐/樂 ‘music; joy’. In Cantonese it appears as Yuet; older romanization Yueh is also seen.

As a compound given name, Lee Yue can suggest images such as ‘meadow moon’ or ‘Lee of joy/music’, depending on the intended characters. The pairing is used in diaspora communities from the late 20th century onward and is typically unisex. Variants and spellings include Lee-Yue, Leigh Yue, Li Yue, Yuet, Yueh, and the reordered Yue Lee when name order follows Western conventions.
