Xing Ying

Xing Ying (星影) is a Chinese given name, commonly used for females. The name literally translates to "Star Shadow" or "Starlight Shadow". "Xing" (星) means star or planet, often carrying connotations of brightness, hope, or destiny. "Ying" (影) means shadow, silhouette, reflection, or image.

The combination of "Xing" and "Ying" creates a name that evokes a sense of ethereal beauty, subtle grace, and the interplay between light and darkness. The name suggests a person who possesses both inner brilliance (the star) and a mysterious, alluring quality (the shadow). It can also imply a connection to the night sky, the cosmos, or a hidden depth of character.

The popularity of the name may vary across different generations and regions within China. Like many Chinese names, the specific meaning and nuance can be interpreted differently based on context and personal preferences.
