Meaning & History
This name could be formed with 灵 (Ling) meaning "Soul, Spirit", 铃 (Ling) meaning "Chime, Bell", 鈴 (Ling) "Small Bell, Bud, Boll", and possibly 綾 (Ling) meaning "Damask, Thin Silk" (likely feminine), plus 艳 (Yan) meaning "Gorgeous, Beautiful" (often feminine) or 岩 (Yan) meaning "rocks, cliff", and other characters are possible, that are pronounced in the same fashion.
