Yining is a Chinese given name of both feminine and masculine usage. It originates from the Manchu language and means "calm" or "peaceful". The name Yining is composed of two characters: "yi" (一), which means "one", and "ning" (宁), which means "peaceful" or "quiet".
The history behind this name dates back to the Qing dynasty when Manchu was the official language. However, after the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1912, the use of Manchu declined significantly, and many people started using Chinese characters for their names instead.
Today, Yining is still used as a given name in China, although it's not as popular as some other Chinese names. It remains a unique and meaningful choice for parents who wish to give their child a peaceful and calm moniker.
Based on the provided statistics, the name Yining has had a steady presence in the United States over the past few years, but it remains relatively uncommon.
In 2018, there were 5 babies born with the name Yining. This number increased slightly to 7 births in 2022, indicating that while the name may not be widely popular, it is still being chosen by parents for their newborns.
Over the span of these four years (from 2018 to 2022), a total of 12 babies were named Yining. This modest figure suggests that the name might appeal to families seeking unique and less common names for their children, as it appears not to have gained widespread popularity among parents during this period.
Despite its limited usage, the consistent presence of Yining in newborn statistics over these years demonstrates that it is still considered a viable option by some parents. It will be interesting to observe any potential trends or fluctuations in the name's popularity in future years.
