Qianhong is Chinese in Origin.

Qianhong is a Mandarin Chinese given name in pinyin whose meaning depends on the characters chosen and is used for any gender. Common pairings include 倩红 (Qiànhóng, “graceful; lovely” + “red; auspicious”), 千红 (Qiānhóng, “a thousand reds,” suggesting abundance), and 谦宏 (Qiānhóng, “modest” + “magnanimous; great”). The Hóng element may be 红 “red,” 宏 “grand,” or 鸿 “great; swan,” shaping the name’s tone from feminine-auspicious to scholarly and expansive.

Use has been steady in mainland China since the mid-20th century; 红-based names peaked in the 1950s–70s for luck and celebration, while 倩 compounds became especially popular for girls in the 1980s–90s. Romanized variants appear as Qian Hong or Qian-hong; tone-marked forms include Qiànhóng, Qiānhóng, or Qiánhóng. Older transcriptions show Ch’ien-hung, and Cantonese renderings vary with the characters.
