Mei-Zhen is Chinese in Origin.
Mei-Zhen is a feminine Chinese given name formed from Mei (美 “beautiful” or 梅 “plum blossom”) and Zhen (珍/真/贞, all pronounced Zhēn in Mandarin), yielding meanings such as “beautiful and precious,” “plum blossom treasure,” “beautiful and true,” or “beautiful and chaste.” Common written forms include 美珍 and 梅珍; pronunciation is roughly May-juhn (Mandarin). The plum blossom symbolizes resilience and purity in Chinese art, while 贞 evokes integrity and steadfast virtue.
As a two-character compound, Mei-Zhen follows a longtime East Asian naming pattern that pairs nature or beauty imagery with moral ideals. It became especially common in the 20th century across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, and remains familiar in overseas Chinese communities. Romanization variants include Mei Zhen, Meizhen (pinyin without hyphen), and Mei-chen (Wade-Giles); in Cantonese, Zhen may appear as Jan or Zing depending on the character.
