Zhiyuan is a unisex given name of Chinese origin. It is composed of two characters: "Zhi" (智), meaning "wisdom", and "Yuan" (源), which signifies "source" or "origin". Together, these characters suggest the idea of being wise or intelligent at one's source or root. Zhiyuan is quite uncommon outside of China but may be encountered among individuals with Chinese heritage or those who have traveled to China. It is pronounced /ʈʂi˨˩ɥɛn˨˦/, following the Pinyin Romanization system used in Mandarin Chinese.
"Zhiyuan saw an increase in newborns over these years, with six births recorded in 2020 compared to five in 2017."
