Li Jian-Hua is Chinese in Origin.
Li Jian-Hua is a Mandarin Chinese name combining the surname Li (李, Lǐ, “plum”) with the two-syllable given name Jian-Hua (often Jiànhuá). The given name’s meaning varies by characters: 建华 “building a flourishing China,” a patriotic classic; 健华 “healthy and splendid”; or 剑华 “sword’s radiance.” Other pairings exist, all signaling strength or refinement. The hyphen marks a disyllabic given name in romanization; in Chinese the characters are written together.
Jian-Hua rose to prominence in the mid-20th century PRC, when names invoking national renewal were fashionable; it remains familiar across the Chinese-speaking world and is usually masculine, though unisex. Common variants include Li Jianhua, Li Jian Hua, Lǐ Jiànhuá; in Wade–Giles, Li Chien-hua; in Cantonese romanization, Lee Kin Wah; and in Sino-Vietnamese, Lý Kiến Hoa. In Western order the name is Jian-Hua Li.
