艺（yi）
Name meaning
艺 (yi), traditional 藝 (Yi), means art, craft, skill and cultivated ability. In a given name it should suggest practiced talent and taste, not mere decoration.
Practical naming use
Use 艺 (yi) when the name should feel creative, skilled and well-trained. It suits art, design, music, writing, craft, technology, teaching or a person whose strengths come from both talent and practice.
Pairing guide
Pair 艺 (yi) with culture, clarity or peace: 艺文 (Yiwen), 艺明 (Yiming), 艺安 (Yian) or 艺然 (Yiran). Avoid another performance-heavy word if the name becomes too showy.
艺文 (Yiwen): Yi contributes art, craft; Wen adds culture, writing.
