Meaning & Story
A reduplication of Mei, the Chinese name meaning 'beautiful' or 'plum blossom,' doubled for extra sweetness and affection.
Mei-mei doubles the loveliness of the Chinese name Mei — in Mandarin, it literally means 'little sister,' making it an especially tender choice for a female pet. The hyphenated form has a calligraphic elegance that reflects its Chinese roots. Female pets named Mei-mei tend to be delicate and affectionate, with a gentle quality that invites everyone to speak softly around them. This is a name with genuine cross-cultural beauty that transcends any single tradition.
