Origin and meaning of Yihan
Yihan is a modern Chinese name, used for boys and girls and transcribed in pinyin. Yi can evoke 'art, elegance, skill' (艺) or 'serenity' (怡), while han (涵) means 'to contain, to embrace', the breadth of a capacious spirit. Together they suggest refinement and generosity of soul. It is a fashionable name in contemporary mainland China, while remaining practically absent in Western countries.
