Lufei Origin and Meaning
The name Lufei is a boy's name meaning "green jade, emerald, kingfisher".
A Chinese name connected strongly to the color green, Lufei was notably borne by educator, publisher, and essayist, Lufei Kui, who founded the Zhonghua Book Company in 1912 (still in business today), and advocated for the use of simplified Chinese characters in education, to make it more accessible.
Besides its gemstone meaning, Lufei has a number of other interpretations, all dependent on which elements are used. These include "prosperous land", "swift happiness" or "land fees", among others.
