Linhui is Chinese in Origin.
Linhui is a Mandarin Chinese given name built from two characters: Lin (commonly 琳 “fine jade,” 霖 “abundant, timely rain,” or 麟 “qílín, auspicious beast”) and Hui (often 慧 “intelligent,” 惠 “kind, benevolent,” or 辉/輝 “radiance”). Depending on the pairing, it conveys virtues such as cultivated brilliance, benevolent grace, or auspicious prosperity. Pinyin forms include Línhuì (琳慧/琳惠, often read as more feminine) and Línhuī (霖辉/麟辉, often read as more masculine); overall the name is unisex and character-dependent.
Two-syllable virtue names of this type have appeared across Chinese history. 慧 carries Buddhist associations of enlightened wisdom; 辉 rose in popularity for boys in the mid–20th century; 琳 has long been favored for girls in literary styles, while 霖 evokes life‑giving rain. Romanized variants include Lin Hui, Lin-hui, Linhui, and Taiwan-influenced Lin Huei; a related reversal is Huilin (慧琳/辉霖).
Linhui is vanishingly rare. We hold just 17 recorded uses of it, from 7 countries.
