📖 About Quynh
Quỳnh is a Vietnamese feminine name of Sino-Vietnamese origin, derived from the Chinese character 琼 (qióng), meaning 'deep red jade' or 'ruby'. In Vietnamese literary tradition, quỳnh evokes rare beauty and refinement — it also names the quỳnh flower (Epiphyllum oxypetalum), a night-blooming blossom associated with fleeting, ethereal beauty. Beloved across generations in Vietnam, Quynh remains a popular choice today and is among the most recognisable Vietnamese names in diaspora communities worldwide.
