Meaning & History
A combination of the characters 无 (wú, meaning "no, without") and 艳 (yàn, meaning "color, vibrancy, beauty"). This was one of the names attributed to Zhongli Chun (钟离春), a woman who lived in the state of Qi during the Chinese Warring States period (475 - 221 BCE). According to legend, she was extremely ugly yet also clever and wise. She successfully convinced King Xuan of Qi to solve four latent risks present in his kingdom, after which she was made his queen and advisor.
