Li Meih is Chinese in Origin.

Li Meih is a Sinophone feminine compound name built from Mandarin elements Li and Mei. Li may stand for the common surname 李 “plum,” or the given‑name morpheme 丽/莉 (Lì) meaning “beautiful; jasmine.” Mei (Měi/Mei) is most often written 美 “beautiful” or 梅 “plum blossom,” symbols of elegance and resilience. As a whole, Li Meih evokes “beautiful plum blossom” or “jasmine beauty,” seen in pairings like 李梅, 丽美, or 莉美.

The final h in Meih reflects a nonstandard overseas romanization or tone cue; the form is rarer than Li Mei. Depending on dialect and system, variants include Li Mei, Li-Mei, Limei, Lì Měi (with tones), Lee Mei, and Cantonese Lei Mei; Westernized order Mei Li also occurs. Compound Li–Mei names rose in popularity across China and the diaspora in the 20th century and remain familiar for their timeless, nature-rich imagery.
