Yutong is a unisex Chinese given name that means 'jewel-like'. It consists of two characters: 'yu' (玉), which signifies jade, and 'tong' (珠), denoting a pearl or jewel. This name is often given to children in mainland China, Taiwan, and other Chinese-speaking communities around the world. The character 'yǔ' (语) is sometimes used instead of 'yu', changing the meaning slightly to 'language' or 'speech'. Despite this variant, both forms are widely recognized and used interchangeably.
"Yutong experienced a peak in popularity in 2016 with 12 births that year. The name's usage has since stabilized, fluctuating between 6 to 7 births annually from 2017 to 2019, and then dropping again to 6 births in 2022. Over the span of these years, there were a total of 52 babies named Yutong."
