Meaning & origin
Bich is a Vietnamese feminine name that entered U.S. records in 1975 and peaked in usage in 1983. Its meaning, 'jade' or 'gem,' ties it to the Vietnamese cultural value placed on precious stones. The name has seen stable but low usage in the decades since, reflecting its ethnic specificity and limited crossover into broader American naming patterns. Bich is most common among Vietnamese-American families and remains a distinctive choice within its community.
Bich is a Vietnamese feminine name derived from the Sino-Vietnamese character 碧 (bích), meaning 'jade' or 'green gemstone'. It was adopted as a given name in Vietnam during the mid-20th century and gained some usage among Vietnamese diaspora communities. The name is often paired with a second element to form compound names like Ngọc Bích (jade or gem jade).
