Tsui is Chinese in Origin.

Tsui is a Cantonese romanization applied to several Chinese characters, most notably the given‑name element 翠 and the surnames 徐 and 崔. As a given name, 翠 means “emerald/kingfisher green,” a classical symbol of luster, freshness, and poised beauty; it skews feminine but is flexible today. When Tsui reflects surnames (徐 “gentle, gradual”; 崔 an old Chinese/Korean lineage), it may be adopted as a given name in diaspora communities with a surname‑as‑first‑name style rather than a fixed meaning.

The 翠 element has long appeared in women’s names across Cantonese‑speaking regions (e.g., 翠華, 翠娥), and contemporary minimalist tastes sometimes use Tsui on its own. International familiarity grew via Hong Kong romanization - note filmmaker Tsui Hark. Variants and cognates include Mandarin Cui (Cuì for 翠; Cuī for 崔) and Cantonese Chui (especially for 崔); related compound forms include Cuihua and Cuifen.
