As baby starts out on their life journey, a name with the meaning of “beginning” couldn’t be more fitting. That name is Fai, a boy’s name of Chinese origin. Short, sweet, and powerful, Fai is a reminder not only of where baby comes from, but where they’re going. Beginnings are often times of rebirth when a person challenges themselves to change. Fai is also a surname based on Fei, belonging to Cantonese and Mandarin, which translates to “fees” or “to cost or spend,” perhaps a reminder to be wise with money. With such a meaningful name, baby Fai will surely live a life of new adventures and thoughtful personal growth.
