Ming Yeu is Chinese in Origin.

Ming Yeu is a Sino-diasporic given name composed of Ming (明, Mandarin míng, “bright, clear, enlightened”) plus Yeu, a non-Pinyin romanization of several syllables pronounced yóu or yòu in Mandarin and yau in Cantonese. Yeu typically reflects overseas Chinese spellings in Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Singapore) and Taiwan, and occurs among Hokkien and Hakka families; it can correspond to characters such as 友 “friend,” 佑/祐 “to protect, divine blessing,” 猷 “plans, designs,” 有 “to have,” or 裕 “abundance.”

Used as the disyllabic personal name following a family name in Chinese order, it appears in Western contexts as a standalone given name with or without a hyphen. The combined sense depends on the chosen characters: 明佑 “brightly protected,” 明友 “clear friendship,” 明猷 “illustrious plans,” or 明裕 “abundance.” Variants include Ming-Yeu, Ming You, Ming Yew, Ming Yau, and Ming Yu. The name is unisex but skews masculine in traditional usage.
