Meaning & Origin

A Chinese surname from Hokkien.

Que is a boy's baby name of Chinese origin, from the Chinese surname 阙 (Quē) — borne by families of ancient heritage. As a given name, it is compact and clean, carrying the minimalist aesthetic that makes short Chinese names so appealing in both Eastern and Western contexts.

Que is a name of deliberate minimalism — a single syllable that carries the weight of an entire Chinese family history, chosen with the confidence that very little can say very much.
