妍（yan）
Name meaning
姍 (yan) means beautiful, graceful and fine in appearance or form. In a given name it should suggest refined beauty and pleasant presence, not a shallow beauty label.
Practical naming use
Use 姍 (yan) for a name that should feel graceful, bright and elegant. It suits art, writing, design, hospitality, public-facing work or a gentle style where beauty is paired with intelligence and self-possession.
Pairing guide
Pair 姍 (yan) with learning, calm or sincerity: 姍文 (Shanwen) Yanwen, 姍明 (Shanming) Yanming, 姍宁 (Shanning) Yanning or 姍安 (Shanan) Yanan. Avoid another purely beauty-coded character if the name becomes too ornamental.
