Li Xue is Chinese in Origin.

Li Xue is a Mandarin Chinese name formed from two morphemes and written with various characters. Most commonly it appears as 丽/麗 + 雪 (Lì Xuě, “beautiful snow”), or as the full name 李雪, where Li is the surname “plum” and Xue is the given name “snow.” Other less common pairings include 黎雪 (Lí Xuě, “dawn snow”). If Xue is written 学/學 (Xué, “learning”), the meaning shifts to “pursuit of knowledge.” Without characters, the sense evokes the wintry purity of 雪 or the studious virtue of 学.

Used since late imperial times and especially popular for girls in the 20th–21st centuries, Li Xue suggests clarity, resilience, and elegance; when written 学/學 it is more gender-neutral. It is read Lì Xuě (麗/丽雪) or Lǐ Xuě (李雪) in Pinyin, with romanizations such as Li-hsüeh (Wade–Giles) and Lei Syut (Cantonese). Modern variants in English include Lixue, Li-Xue, Lee Xue, and, for 麗雪, Lai-suet.
