Meiling is from the Chinese 美玲 (Měilíng — měi beautiful + líng tinkling jade — beautiful tinkling jade). Meiling is one of the Chinese feminine names — central to traditional Chinese Confucian + Daoist heritage. Chinese feminine name reflecting Chinese cultural heritage.
Meiling does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Meiling reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
