Li Jiang is Chinese in Origin.

Li Jiang is a Mandarin Chinese name most often parsed as the surname Li (李 “plum”), one of China’s oldest and most common family names, followed by the gender-neutral given name Jiang (江 “river”). Together it evokes images of grace and steady flow. In the diaspora it is sometimes written as a two-syllable given name, Lijiang (丽江 “beautiful river”), identical in spelling to the famed Yunnan city; meaning and tones depend on the chosen characters.

Romanization and dialectal variants include Li Chiang (Wade–Giles), Lee Jiang/Lee Chiang (Anglicized Li), Cantonese Lei Gong, and Hokkien Lí Kang. Alternative characters broaden nuance: Li may appear as 黎 (“dusky”), 丽/麗 (“beautiful”), or 莉 (“jasmine”); Jiang is most commonly 江 (“river”), but may also be 姜 (“ginger”) as a personal name. Use spans classical literature through modern times, with nature-based given names remaining popular and unisex.
