婉（wan）
Name meaning
婉 (Wan) carries grace, gentleness and the kind of refinement that bends rather than pushes. In a name it suggests elegance, tact and a soft but intelligent feminine presence.
Practical naming use
婉 (Wan) is useful when a name needs grace, tact and refined softness rather than a generic femininity gloss. Its best register is elegant, literary, so it can support a girl name that feels culturally legible, polished and easy to explain. The character works best when the second character turns grace into a fuller human quality such as intelligence, steadiness, brightness or inner calm.
Pair 婉 (Wan) with characters such as 清 (Qing) for lucid grace, 宁 (Ning) for composed gentleness, 怡 (Yi) for easy warmth, 文 (Wen) for literary refinement or 安 (An) for calm steadiness. The second character should keep the name graceful without making it vague.
婉清 (Wanqing): Wan contributes graceful, gentle; Qing adds clear, pure.
