枫(feng)
Name meaning
枫 (feng), traditional 楓 (Feng), means the maple or sweetgum tree, especially the red autumn foliage that became a strong literary image. In a given name it can suggest elegance, seasonal depth, quiet beauty and a person whose character becomes more vivid with time.
Practical naming use
Use 枫 (feng) when the name should feel poetic, refined and nature-linked without sounding fragile. It suits art, design, literature, environmental interests or a calm personality with visible warmth. Pair it with a character that adds steadiness, brightness or moral direction.
Pair 枫 (feng) with a clear and grounded companion such as 枫安 (Fengan) Feng'an, 枫明 (Fengming), 枫然 (Fengran) or 枫文 (Fengwen). These keep the image elegant while preventing the name from becoming only scenery.
枫安 (Fengan): Feng contributes maple, autumn color; An adds peace, safety.

Historical / name-use references
楓山先生 (Fengshan Xiansheng)
Fengshan Xiansheng was a historical honorific for the Ming scholar-official Zhang Mao, whose collected work is titled Fengshan Ji. This is a premodern literary name-use anchor for 楓 (Feng)/枫 (Feng), not a claim that 枫 (Feng) was his given name.
