Linyue is a Mandarin Chinese given name formed from Lin (commonly 林 “forest,” 琳 “fine jade,” or 霖 “long, beneficent rain”) and Yue (most often 月 “moon,” also 悦 “delight,” 岳 “peak,” or 樂/乐 read yuè “music”). Depending on characters, meanings range from “moon in the forest” (林月) and “jade moon” (琳月) to “joyful moon” (悦月). Pinyin tones usually read Lín Yuè, though tones vary with the chosen graphs.

Used within the long-standing two-character naming tradition, elements like 月 and 琳 appear in classical verse and have lent a lyrical, refined aura; combinations with 月 tend to be feminine, while 霖 or 岳 skew unisex. The name occurs in mainland China and the Chinese diaspora, typically written together or with a space or hyphen. Variants include Lin Yue, Lin-yue, LinYue, and tone-marked Línyuè; older romanizations may show Lin-yüeh.
