Mei-lin

A forest is a life-giving thing; not only do we benefit from the oxygen it produces, but it is also home to many little creatures of the world. If you want to give baby a name that will link them to nature, then Mei-lin is a lovely choice. With Chinese origins, Mei-lin is a gender-neutral name that can have a variety of meanings, depending on the characters used to write it. Some meanings include “beautiful forest,” “plum forest,” “rose forest,” “beautiful jade,” or even “beautiful unicorn.” The name is also shared by the main character in Disney’s Turning Red, which tells the delightful story of Meilin, a girl who turns into a giant red panda when experiencing strong emotions. And while your baby Mei may not transform into a panda, they are sure to love this name that connects them to the natural world and their heritage!
