Lingjie is Chinese in Origin.

Lingjie is a Mandarin Chinese given name in Hanyu Pinyin, formed from Ling + Jie. Meaning varies by characters, commonly 灵杰/玲杰/凌杰/岭杰 (“Ling” + 杰 ‘outstanding’), 玲洁/令洁 (‘pure’), or 灵捷 (‘quick, nimble’). Depending on the graphs, Ling may denote spirit, tinkling jade, a mountain ridge, or to soar, and Jie may mean outstanding, pure, or swift. Typical readings include 灵杰 ‘spirited excellence,’ 玲洁 ‘jade-like purity,’ and 凌杰 ‘lofty achievement.’ The name is unisex: 玲 tends to a feminine feel, while 杰 often signals a more masculine style.

Two-syllable Chinese given names have deep roots, but Lingjie rose with 20th-century tastes for aspirational morphemes; Pinyin standardized its spelling. Earlier romanization shows Wade-Giles Ling-chieh; Cantonese forms include Ling Kit/Git. Latin variants appear as Ling-jie or Ling Jie. Usage has been especially visible since the 1970s-1990s, when names with 杰 were fashionable.
