Yi-Chi is Chinese in Origin.

Yi-Chi is a Mandarin Chinese given name formed from two syllables; its sense varies with the characters. Yi commonly appears as 怡 “harmony/joy,” 依 “rely,” 逸 “ease,” 一 “one,” or 奕 “grandeur”; Chi often corresponds to 琪 “fine jade,” 綺 “ornate silk,” 祺 “auspicious,” 淇 (a river name), or 智 “wisdom.” Popular pairings include 怡琪 (joy + jade) and 奕祺 (grandeur + auspicious).

The hyphenated spelling reflects Wade–Giles–influenced Taiwanese practice. In Hanyu Pinyin the same name is usually written Yiqi (for names ending with 琪/綺/祺/淇) or Yizhi (for names ending with 智). Older Wade–Giles distinguishes Yi-Ch’i (qi) and Yi-Chih (zhi); everyday omission of apostrophes or h produced Yi-Chi. Modern variants include Yichi, Yi Chi, Yi Qi, and Yi Zhi. Unisex in usage, tones and chosen characters determine nuance and cultural symbolism.

Yi-Chi is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 9 times, across 1 country.
