Mei-Hui is Chinese in Origin.
Mei-Hui is a feminine Chinese given name of two syllables, commonly written as 美慧 (“beautiful, wise”) or 美惠 (“beautiful, gracious”); other pairings include 梅慧/梅惠 (“plum blossom” + “wisdom/beneficence”). In Mandarin (Měi-Huì), měi signals beauty or the resilient plum blossom, while huì can denote keen intellect (慧) or kindness and favor (惠), yielding meanings like “beautiful wisdom” or “gracious beauty.”
Romanization varies by region and era: Meihui (Pinyin), Mei Hui (spaced), Mei-hui (older hyphenated style), and Cantonese forms such as Mei-wai/Mei Wai (for 慧/惠). In Taiwanese Hokkien it may appear as Bí-hūi (POJ). The hyphenated form flourished mid‑20th century in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia, and remains a classic, auspicious choice across the Chinese diaspora.
Mei-Hui is a rare find. Our records hold just 8 recorded uses, spread over 2 countries.
