Rongli is Chinese in Origin.

Rongli is a Mandarin Chinese given name written in pinyin as Rónglì; its meaning depends on the characters chosen. Common pairings include 荣/榮 (rong, “honor; glory; to flourish”) or 蓉 (rong, “hibiscus”) with 丽/麗 (li, “beautiful”), 礼/禮 (li, “propriety”), 利 (li, “benefit”), or 莉 (li, “jasmine”). Thus Rongli can evoke ideas of glorious beauty, honorable conduct, prosperous gains, or floral imagery. With 丽 or 莉 it skews feminine; with 礼 or 利 it is more unisex.

Two-syllable given names like Rongli have been standard in Chinese naming since late imperial times and remained popular through the 20th century, especially combinations using 荣 and 丽. The name appears across Mainland China, Taiwan (using traditional forms), and the diaspora. Variant forms include Rong-li, Rónglì (with tones), and spacing as Rong Li; related name orderings include Lirong (Lirong). Other romanizations record it as Jung-li (Wade-Giles) or, in Cantonese, Wing-lei/Jung-lei.
