Li-Hsueh is a Mandarin given name in Wade–Giles romanization, corresponding to Pinyin Li Xue (pronounced roughly “lee shweh”). Because Chinese names depend on the written characters, its meaning varies. A common feminine rendering is Lì Xuě (丽雪), “beautiful snow,” evoking purity and elegance; other possibilities include Lì Xué (立学), “establish learning,” or Lǐ Xué (理学), “principled study,” giving a studious, unisex tone. Without characters, the specific sense remains open.

Hyphenated Wade–Giles forms like Li-Hsueh were widely used across Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the overseas Chinese community in the mid‑20th century; since the PRC’s adoption of Pinyin, Li Xue or Lixue is now more standard, though Li‑Hsüeh (with ü) and Li-Hsueh persist in older records. Variants include Li-Xue/Lixue (Pinyin), and, if written 丽雪, Cantonese Lai-Syut (Jyutping: lai6-syut3). The name’s tone and gender lean ultimately reflect the chosen characters.
