Guanyin is the goddess of mercy and compassion, one of the most beloved figures in Chinese belief, who hears the cries of the world.
Her name is gentleness and boundless kindness itself.
Guanyin does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Guanyin reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
