Weiwei
Fewer than thirty people in Poland carry it, so most Poles will never meet one. It comes from Chinese, where it means "powerful, great", and it goes to women and men alike.
Weiwei Pronunciation
Weiwei is pronounced ve-ee-VE-ee (/vɛiˈvɛi/).
What Weiwei means
Where Weiwei comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Weiwei reaches Polish name lists from China, and its origin lies outside Europe, marked simply as other. In Mandarin the sound can be written with characters meaning great or mighty, among them 伟 (wěi) and 威 (wēi). The Polish gloss holds that sense: potężny, wielki, in English powerful and great. Doubling a syllable is a common way to form Chinese given names, so Weiwei can sound affectionate as well as grand.
The name has no European diminutives or variants. It travels as one word. Its best known bearer abroad is the artist Ai Weiwei, born in Beijing in 1957. His name uses different characters, 未未, which do not mean powerful, so the meaning given here belongs to other writings of the same sound.
A Polish teacher reading it from a class register meets four vowels and a repeated stem. Short, and easy to say. On an imieniny calendar it has no fixed day, since the name comes from a tradition without Polish name-days. What stays fixed is the gloss on the page: potężny, wielki.
