Qiong Pronunciation
What Qiong means
Where Qiong comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Qiong comes from the Chinese character 琼, read qióng, and it means fine jade. In Polish that is piękny jadeit. The character sits among words for worked stone, and classical poets used it for jade finer than the common kind.
No European cognate stands behind it. The origin is recorded plainly as other.
The same sign names a place. Hainan, the southern island province, uses 琼 as its one-character abbreviation, so vehicle plates there open with the jade character. The Taiwanese novelist Qiong Yao took the character into her pen name, pairing it with 瑶, another word for fine jade.
On a Polish class register, Qiong would stand without a diminutive, because the name has none. The meaning stays close to the stone: fine jade.
