It can be used as a boy's name. It means clear water. In Chinese, Qing can be written into different words. My boyfriend is named Zhang Ze Qing, a really wonderful name.
My friend's name is Yun Qing, which means 'greenish blue cloud'. An odd colour for a cloud, but nice nonetheless. Normally she goes by the nickname Qing Qing.

When I studied Chinese (Mandarin) many years ago (I didn't get very far), my teacher (who said he was totally color blind) said that the Chinese language (at least Mandarin) had a single word for both blue and green. Is this true?
