So thanks to our wonderful friend Ernest, we have found out that Chun Mei is a very very beautiful name!

Chun = Spring
Mei = Blossom (the plum blossom, in particular), plum is the direct translation but Chun Mei written together is understood as Spring Blossom.

Significance
1. The blossoms of a plum tree are usually the first sign of spring. They blossom very early, even in the coldness of spring to welcome its arrival.
2. "It has great symbolic value for the Chinese because of its resilience in the harsh winter weather."
3. The plum blossoms are very pretty white and pink flowers giving a delicate fragrance. (see pic above)
4. It is also the national flower of Taiwan.
5. It has good feng shui as the plum fruit signifies abundance and wealth.
