Hua is a gender-neutral baby name of Chinese origin. Depending on its spelling, Hua can mean “splendid, illustrious,” and “Chinese,” or “flower” and “blossom.” There are several uses of the name Hua, either as a placename in China leftover from the Xia dynasty or in a broader way to describe the Chinese people.
