Meaning and background
The story behind Meimei
Meimei can represent a Chinese name written 美美, repeating the character 美 associated with beauty or goodness. Chinese dictionaries support the meaning of that specific written form, but a romanised name without characters can also correspond to other combinations and tones. For an individual dog, the two identical-looking syllables give it a memorable rhythm. Its possible Chinese-language reading deserves more care than an unconditional translation as “beautiful”.
- Origin
- A possible Chinese writing is 美美, using a repeated character 美 (měi) meaning beautiful or good; other characters and readings may also underlie Meimei. Source
