Meixing is Chinese in Origin.
Meixing is a Mandarin Chinese given name written in Hanyu Pinyin, most often composed as 美星 (Měixīng, “beautiful star”) or 梅星 (Méixīng, “plum blossom star”). Other legitimate pairings include 美兴/美興 (Měixīng, “beautiful prosperity”) and 美幸 (Měixìng, “beautiful fortune”), with the exact meaning determined by the chosen characters. “Mei” commonly denotes beauty or the emblematic plum blossom, while “Xing” may signify star (星), prosperity (兴/興), or fortune (幸). The name tends to be feminine-leaning when 美 (“beautiful”) is used, but remains broadly unisex across character choices.
Usage rose in the 20th century alongside modern compound given names and expanded globally with Chinese diaspora communities. Romanization variants include Mei Xing and Mei-xing; in older Wade–Giles it appears as Mei-hsing. In Cantonese, forms such as Mei-sing (美星; mei5 sing1) or Mui-sing (梅星; mui4 sing1) reflect different character choices. The name evokes brightness, guidance, resilience, and auspicious growth.
