Mei-Zi is Chinese in Origin.
Mei-Zi is a feminine Mandarin Chinese given name formed from Mei and Zi. Mei is commonly written 美 “beautiful” or 梅 “plum blossom,” though other graphs such as 玫 “rose” or 媚 “charming” occur. Zi is often 子 “child” or 姿 “grace/poise.” Depending on the characters selected, the name can mean “beautiful child,” “plum-blossom girl,” or “graceful beauty,” with the plum evoking purity and resilience.
Two-syllable given names are standard in Chinese, and the -zi element often serves as a diminutive or elegant suffix for girls. The pairing appears in Republican-era and mid‑century Taiwanese records, its visibility bolstered by Japanese -ko (子) naming fashions. Romanization varies: Mei-Zi (hyphenated), Mei Zi (spaced), or Meizi (solid) in Hanyu Pinyin; Mei-tzu in Wade–Giles; Cantonese forms may appear as Mei-ji. Character variants include 美子, 梅子, 美姿, and 美紫. Not to be confused with mèizi 妹子, a colloquial word for “girl.”
Mei-Zi turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. Such a name is generally either rare, regional or traditional, or a brand-new coinage. Either way, it's a name very few children share.
