Zou Jie

Zou Jie (邹捷) is a Chinese given name. It is typically used for males but can, in rare instances, be used for females. The name is composed of two Chinese characters:

• 邹 (Zōu): This character is a relatively uncommon surname in China. Historically, it also refers to the state of Zou (邾), a small vassal state during the Zhou Dynasty (c. 1046 – 256 BCE), located in present-day Shandong province.

• 捷 (Jié): This character commonly means "quick," "nimble," "prompt," or "victorious." It carries connotations of intelligence, efficiency, and success.

Therefore, the name Zou Jie can be interpreted as wishing the individual quickness, cleverness, and success in life, or, given the historical meaning of "Zou," might reflect a connection to or aspiration associated with the historical state of Zou. The exact intended meaning depends on the parents' specific motivations when choosing the name.
