Meaning of 雪玲?

[identity_x]

Hello,

I need your help...

Anyone know what this name 雪玲 means? Does it have any meaning? I know the first character means snow and the second means bell. But put together?

Thank you for reading!

Good question,

I have no idea.

The first thing that did come to my mind though, is that it might be some kind of thing used for snow, because I know that 滑雪板 (huá​xuě​bǎn) means snowboard. Maybe a 滑雪玲 is something and you've missed out the first word.

I'm probably wrong, because I cant find it in a dictionary!

Other than that, would it be the sound of snow falling?

I suspect it's just a pretty name . . .

"Snowbell" is indeed a pretty name.

雪玲 actually kind of reminds me of some of those martial arts names, like 如月 or something.

[lacrimosa1983]

"雪” means snow, and for Chinese snow means pure, clean and honest; the word "玲“ is not bell, bell is "铃“，玲 means refined,nice, delicate, beautiful. for the name 雪玲, I guess her parents want their daughter to become a beautiful, clean and honest girl, don not be polluted by dust.

玲 líng​ onomat. ting-a-ling (in compounds such as 玎玲 or 玲瓏｜玲珑) / tinkling of gem-pendants

Is the dictionary wrong then? (Seriously!!)

[xiaocai]

玲 is quite commonly used in girl names, and I don't think too many people actually care what it means, as long as it sounds nice...

And why 如月 is an martial art name?

[lacrimosa1983]

如月 is an martial art name, who told you?

Just a name isn't it ?

[Shi Tong]

Sorry, 如月is the name of one of the characters in Crouching Tiger... or at least, I thought it was.

I believe 雪玲 is a female Chinese name (which you probably already surmised). Obviously, without any other usage it has no meaning beyond the association with the meaning of its two characters. But it is a nice picture ("tinkling of snow").
