Manting

Manting is a phonetic rendering used in the Latin alphabet to render several Chinese terms, names, and toponyms. The exact meaning depends on the Chinese characters chosen to represent it; Manting is not a single, fixed concept.

As a personal name, Manting is most often encountered as a feminine given name in Mandarin-speaking communities, though usage varies. The characters selected can indicate attributes such as grace, beauty, or serenity, but different character choices yield different meanings.

In toponymy and cultural references, Manting appears in place names, temples, or tourist sites in Chinese-speaking regions. When used in geographic names, Manting conveys favorable imagery and heritage, again depending on the characters and local history.

There are no widely recognized historical figures or universally known subjects simply identified as "Manting" in major reference works. Individual uses of Manting are diverse and context-specific, including personal names, fictional characters, or localized landmarks.

Because Manting encompasses multiple possible references, precise interpretation requires context such as characters used, region, or field of reference.
