All around the world, Yīng (英 , 婴 , 嬰 ) is a widespread largely feminine, but uncommonly male first name. The given name Yīng is characteristic of Eastern Asia, particularly China, where it is quite a common dominantly girly, but uncommonly boy's name. Very seldom, Yīng is the last name as well as the forename.
Yīng is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Wang Ying , the Water Margin character.
