Origin and meaning of Shiyu

Shiyu (诗语) combines shī 诗, 'poetry,' with yǔ 语, 'word, language': the name wishes a life woven with poetic words, sensitivity and literary talent. It's a unisex name used in China, especially loved for its refined, cultured register. The same sounds can correspond to other characters, such as shi meaning 'time' (时) or yu 'universe' (宇), giving the name different tones while keeping a poetic echo.
