Meaning & Origin
A river in China, the western tributary of the Pearl.
Xi is a boy's and girl's baby name of Chinese origin, from the character 希 ('hope'), 喜 ('happiness'), or other characters depending on the family's choice. Xi is also the 14th letter of the Greek alphabet. In Chinese names, the character selection carries the full meaning — Xi alone can represent hope, joy, or countless other aspirations.
Xi is a name of remarkable minimalism — one letter, one syllable, and yet carrying potentially enormous meaning in the Chinese tradition where a single character can encompass a world of aspiration.
