Ming-An is Chinese in Origin.
Ming-An combines two classic Chinese morphemes: míng 明, meaning bright, clear, or illustrious, and ān 安, meaning peace, safety, or tranquility. As a given name it conveys wishes for enlightened calm, radiant peace, and clarity safeguarded by stability. Written 明安 in characters, it is pronounced Míng-ān in Mandarin and is used for all genders, though slightly more common for boys in many Chinese communities.
The pairing appears throughout the Sinosphere, with steady use in family genealogies and renewed popularity among 20th‑century diaspora families who favored virtue names. Romanization varies by region and era: Pinyin Ming’an or Ming An, older Wade–Giles Ming-an, Cantonese Ming On, Hokkien/Teochew Beng-an, Vietnamese Minh An, and Korean Myeong-an (hanja 明安). Some modern documents drop the hyphen as Mingan, but this can be confused with the unrelated word míngǎn 敏感 sensitive. Overall, Ming‑An is a poised blend of brilliance and serenity.
