Quỳnh is Vietnamese in Origin.

Quỳnh is a Vietnamese given name with Hán-Việt roots, corresponding to the Chinese character 瓊 (Mandarin Qióng), meaning “fine jade,” connoting purity and luminous beauty. In modern Vietnamese it also evokes hoa quỳnh, the night-blooming cereus cactus celebrated for its rare, fragrant blossoms that open only at night; this links the name with elegance, grace, and the fleeting charm of an ephemeral flower. While technically unisex, it is most frequently given to girls.

Attested in folklore, poetry, and popular culture, Quỳnh has remained fashionable for centuries, especially in compound names. Common variants and forms include the unaccented diaspora spelling Quynh; elaborations such as Quỳnh Anh, Quỳnh Hoa, Ngọc Quỳnh, Bảo Quỳnh, and Minh Quỳnh; and the Sino-Xenic cognate Qiong in Chinese contexts. Related Vietnamese flower names include Lan, Huệ, and Mai. Diminutives are uncommon in formal use, and spelling without diacritics is typical abroad.
