Origin: Chinese

Meaning: Beautiful forest; Beautiful jade

One of the most magnificent sights in nature is the sprawling green beauty of the forest. Not only does it help us live and breathe, but it also gives meaning to baby Maylin, a variant of Mei-lin. This pretty, feminine Chinese name became popular in the US in 2014 after Mei Lin won the twelfth season of the television show Top Chef. Upon winning, she became a personal chef for Oprah Winfrey before opening her own restaurant in LA. Baby Maylin can scale the heights, just like Mei Lin, while remaining grounded and being one with nature and its many "beautiful forest(s)."
