Archivesvietnamese name Uyen
Does anybody know what that name means? I found the meaning "bird", but on the site here it is spelled as "Quyen". Is it the same name spelled a bit differently or do they have different meanings?
Thanks :)
Thanks :)

Uyên and Quyên are two different names and are pronounced differently in Vietnamese. To non-fluent speakers, it may not sound different as it is rather subtle.
Uyên means "charming, intelligent". However, the bird reference isn's random. Mandarin ducks are referred to as Uyên ương. A pair of colorful birds traditionally used to symbolize fidelity and good fortune for a couple getting married are referred to as chim Uyên. Note: this is different from phoenixes.
