Is Nannan a boy's name or a girl's name?

According to the data of the House of Divination, Nannan is a Chinese name, which is usually used for girls. The origin and meaning of this name are not very clear. Some people think it comes from the plant name Nanmu, which means strong and unyielding. There is also a saying that South-South is a homonym of "South-South", which means facing the south and moving towards a better future. In traditional culture, nanmu is a precious wood with high value and symbolic significance. Nanmu is considered as an auspicious thing, which means longevity, peace and good luck. It is often used to make furniture, screens and sculptures. Therefore, Nanmu is also considered as a representative of saints and Confucian scholars. Giving children this name is also in the hope that they can become people with lofty morality, ideals and pursuits.
