Zixi is a monophthongal Chinese given name, composed of two characters: "自" (zì) and "喜" (xǐ). Literally translated, it means 'self-happiness' or 'one's own joy'. This name is often chosen by parents who wish for their child to be independent and content with life. It is particularly popular among the Han Chinese ethnicity but can also be found in other Chinese communities around the world. The character "自" can also denote 'oneself', suggesting a sense of individuality, while "喜" signifies happiness or joy. Thus, Zixi could be interpreted as an encouragement for personal growth and contentment.
The name Zixi has shown variable popularity over time, with a notable spike in usage between 2016 and 2018.
