Ziyang, a name of Chinese origin, unfolds in Mandarin as zee-yahng (/zi.jaŋ/). Built from characters often meaning “son” or “purple” (Zi) alongside “sun” or “ocean” (Yang), it conjures the warmth of first light—like saffron hues dancing across the Ganges at dawn. Deeply rooted in ancient tradition yet carrying a contemporary freshness, Ziyang speaks to vitality and hope, reminding parents of bright horizons and boundless potential. Though still a rare gem in the United States—bestowing its gentle strength on only five to six newborn boys each year since 2013, with a ranking around the nine-hundreds—it shines as an elegant choice for families seeking a name that bridges Eastern heritage with universal optimism (and has just enough flair to spark a smile).
