Lirui is a modern Mandarin Chinese given name formed from the syllables Li and Rui, whose meanings depend on the selected characters. Frequent choices include 丽/莉/礼/立 (Lì/Lǐ: “beautiful,” “jasmine,” “propriety,” “to establish”) with 瑞/睿/蕊 (Ruì: “auspicious,” “wise,” “flower bud”), yielding readings such as “beautiful and wise,” “established good fortune,” or “courteous insight.” The name is typically unisex and chosen to combine virtue with luck.
