Ruijuan is Chinese in Origin.
Ruijuan is a Mandarin Chinese feminine given name formed from two morphemes whose meaning depends on the chosen characters. A very common spelling is 瑞娟 (Ruìjuān), combining 瑞 “auspicious, fortunate” with 娟 “graceful, refined, lovely.” Other attested pairs include 睿娟 (“wise, perceptive” + “graceful”) and 芮娟 (“delicate” + “graceful”). In standard Mandarin, Rui is pronounced roughly “rway,” and Juan approximates “jwen”; because tones are omitted in Latin letters, the exact sense is fixed by the hanzi.
Names ending in 娟 were especially popular for girls in the mid to late 20th century across mainland China and Taiwan, so Ruijuan carries a classic, warm familiarity today. Variants in spelling include Rui-juan, Rui Juan, and Rui-Juan; in Vietnamese Sino-readings, 瑞娟 corresponds to Thụy Quyên. Diminutives like Juanjuan or Xiao Juan are common in family use, while formal contexts retain the full, elegant compound.
