About the name Gui
Gui is a Chinese given name, most often written 贵 (guì) ‘noble, precious, honoured’ or 桂 (guì) ‘osmanthus’, the fragrant flowering tree. The osmanthus is linked with the Mid-Autumn Festival and with the legend of Wu Gang, who endlessly cuts an osmanthus tree on the moon. The character 鬼, which is also pronounced guǐ and means ‘ghost’, is avoided in names. Gui usually appears as one element of a two-character given name, such as Guilan or Guifang.
