Wenyu

Wenyu is a Chinese given name. The meaning of Wenyu depends on the Chinese characters used to write it. A common form is 文宇, which combines 文 (culture, literature) and 宇 (house, universe) and is often interpreted as "cultured universe" or "literary universe." Other frequent spellings include 文瑜, using 瑜 (jade) to suggest brightness and virtue, or 文雨, using 雨 (rain) to evoke renewal. Because Chinese names are chosen for auspicious meanings, many other character pairs may be used, yielding a range of meanings such as "cultured jade," "refined rain," or "scholarly greatness."

Wenyu is typically a given name rather than a surname, and it can be used by people of any gender, although some character combinations are more common for males. In contemporary contexts, the name appears in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and among Chinese communities worldwide. As with many Chinese names, the intended meaning is determined by the parents or bearer and may not be evident from the romanization alone.

Because Wenyu is a given name rather than a fixed single character, there is no single historical figure associated with the name; rather, it appears across a range of individuals in education, science, arts, and public life.
