Tianqi is Chinese in Origin.
Tianqi is a Mandarin Chinese given name (pinyin Tianqi: Tiānqí/Tiānqǐ/Tiānqì), built from 天 'heaven, sky' plus a second character whose sense shapes the meaning. Common pairings include 祺/琪/琦 (qí, 'auspicious; fine jade'), 奇 (qí, 'marvel, uncommon'), and 啟/启 (qǐ, 'to open, enlighten'), yielding readings like 'heavenly blessing,' 'heavenly gem,' 'heavenly wonder,' or 'heavenly awakening.' The same spelling also matches tiānqì 'weather' (天气), though given names typically use different characters.
Usage is unisex: forms with 启 and 祺 often skew masculine, while 琪/琦 are popular for girls. The name has been common in mainland China since the late 20th century. As a historical reference, Tianqi (天啟) was the Ming reign title of Emperor Zhu Youjiao (1621-1627), lending the name an antique resonance. Variants and romanizations include Tian Qi, Tian-qi, T'ien-ch'i (Wade-Giles), and Cantonese Tin Kei (天祺/琪/琦/奇) or Tin Kai (天啟). Spelling may use simplified (启, 祺) or traditional forms (啟, 祺/琪/琦).
