Means "beautiful" in Chinese.
I was named Mei (梅) after plum blossoms that are the first to bloom in winter. It signifies perseverance.
In my language the word "Mei" stands for "Mother", because she is so precious that she gave us life when we were born.
Mei is the name for the famous oriental plum blossom (Prunus Mei), which is the only flower that blossoms in winter (January), and is therefore a symbol of Chinese new year. Can also mean beauty or beautiful.
Really love this name!
Depending on the tone used and character for "Mei," in Chinese it can mean any number of things - including: beautiful, American, and meimei means younger sister or is the nickname version for Mei.
Meimei means "little (younger) sister". Mei also means "American" (from the sound "a-ME-rica").
Mei means 'plum-blossom' in some Chinese languages. In China most girls are named after flowers, such as 'Chun-mei', spring plum-blossom, and 'Dong-mei', winter plum-blossom.
