What is the meaning of the name Ruiqi ?

The baby name Ruiqi is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Ruìqí (pinyin); approximate IPA: [ʐwèi.tɕʰǐ].

Ruiqi is Chinese in Origin.

Ruiqi is a modern Mandarin Chinese given name from Pinyin, typically combining Rui (瑞 “auspicious,” 睿 “wise,” 锐 “keen,” or 芮, a surname) with Qi (琪/琦 “fine jade,” 祺 “felicity,” or 淇, a river name). Depending on the characters, it conveys ideas such as “auspicious jade,” “wise and precious,” or “lasting good fortune.” The name is unisex, with jade-based Qi (琪/琦) skewing feminine and 祺 more common for boys.

Use of Ruiqi grew in mainland China from the 1990s amid trends favoring virtue-and-jade pairings; it is also found in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Chinese diaspora. Common written pairings include 瑞琪, 睿琪, and 瑞祺. Romanization variants are Rui Qi, Rui-qi, and, in Wade-Giles, Jui-ch’i; Cantonese forms include Seui Kei/Sui-ki, sometimes anglicized as Suki. Related names swap one element: Ruixi (瑞希/睿熙), Ruijie (睿杰), or Ruiming (瑞明).
