The baby name Mei-Hsuan is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /meɪ ɕyɛn/ (Mandarin pinyin: Mei Xuan; approximate English: "May-shwen"; Wade–Giles: Mei‑Hsuan).

Mei-Hsuan is Chinese in Origin.

Mei-Hsuan is a Mandarin Chinese feminine given name, usually Taiwanese in style, combining Mei (美 “beautiful” or 梅 “plum blossom”) with Hsuan, the Wade–Giles rendering of Xuan (宣 “declare,” 萱 “daylily,” 瑄 “fine jade tablet,” 玄 “mysterious,” etc.). The precise meaning depends on the chosen hanzi; popular pairings include 美萱 “beautiful daylily/forget-worry herb,” 梅萱 “plum and daylily,” and 美瑄 “beautiful, precious jade.” Plum blossoms symbolize resilience and purity, while the daylily evokes maternal care and relief from sorrow.

Used widely in Taiwan from the late 20th century onward, the hyphenated form reflects two-character given names and passport romanization conventions. Variants include Mei-Xuan and Meixuan (Hanyu Pinyin), Mei Hsuan or Meihsuan (spacing/hyphen changes), Mei-Syuan (Tongyong Pinyin), and Mei-Hsüan (Wade–Giles with umlaut). Though largely chosen for girls, it is technically unisex depending on characters and family tradition. Approximate pronunciation: MAY shwen.
