Shengying is a Mandarin Chinese given name formed from two morphemes, usually written in Hanyu Pinyin. Sheng (盛 shèng ‘prosperous; abundant’, 胜 shèng ‘victory’, 圣 shèng ‘sacred’, or 声 shēng ‘sound’) combines with Ying (英 yīng ‘heroic; excellent’, 颖 yǐng ‘talent; sharp’, 莹 yíng ‘crystalline; lustrous’, or 瑛 yīng ‘sparkling jade’). The precise meaning depends on the chosen characters, yielding composites such as ‘victorious excellence,’ ‘abundant brilliance,’ or ‘crystal radiance.’ The name is typically unisex, with character choices tilting masculine (e.g., 胜英) or feminine (e.g., 盛莹).

Two-syllable given names like Shengying have been standard in Chinese naming since the 20th century, with patriotic pairings (胜英) popular in the mid-century and luminous, gem-related forms (莹/瑛/颖) favored more recently. Variants and romanizations include Shèngyīng (with tones), Sheng Ying, Sheng-ying, and Cantonese-based Sing-ying. Use varies across Greater China and the Chinese diaspora.
