Ruiyun is Chinese in Origin.

Ruiyun is a Mandarin Chinese given name composed of two morphemes, most often written 瑞云, meaning “auspicious clouds,” an image linked to good omens and benevolent reigns in classical art and poetry. Other legitimate pairings include 锐云 (“keen, incisive” + “clouds”), 瑞韵 (“auspicious” + “melody/poetic charm”), or 瑞芸 (“auspicious” + “aromatic herb; artistry”). The exact sense depends on the chosen characters and tones (ruì vs. ruǐ; yún vs. yùn).

Used across Mainland China, Taiwan, and the Chinese diaspora since the early 20th century, Ruiyun is generally unisex; forms with 云 or 芸 often read as feminine, while 锐 or 睿 (“wise”) skew masculine. Variants in romanization and spacing include Rui Yun, Rui-yun, and Wade-Giles Jui-yun; in Cantonese, 瑞云 is Seoi Wan (Jyutping seoi6 wan4). Related given names: Ruixue (“auspicious snow”) and Yunyun. Tones are typically omitted in passports and international records.
