Ning is Chinese in Origin.
Ning is a Chinese given name from the character 宁 (simplified) / 寧 (traditional), pronounced Níng in Mandarin. It conveys peace, calm, and serenity, and can also mean to pacify or to make tranquil. Favored for its gentle virtue, it is chosen for all genders and appears in expressions such as 宁静 (tranquility) and the maxim 宁静致远 (quietude leads to far-reaching goals), reinforcing scholarly and harmonious ideals.
Used since classical times, Ning occurs alone or in compound names like Ningjing, Ningxin, and Anning, and affectionate doublings such as Ningning. It also functions as a Chinese surname and in place names (for example Ningbo and Ningxia; Nanjing’s abbreviation is 宁). Romanized as Ning in Hanyu Pinyin, it is Ning4 in Cantonese (Jyutping), and corresponds to Vietnamese Ninh; related Sino-Xenic readings appear in Korean as Nyeong. Variants are the characters 宁/寧 rather than alternate spellings.
