India, I assume.
Nope, never met anyone with that name
Sources say it’s of Hindi origin, but when I actually checked the statistics, it says there’s only 130 people in India with the name, while there’s ~56 million in China. So it seems to be mostly a Chinese name. Although further googling seems to indicate that’s the Chinese name for "Mrs."… so it might be that these sources are reading the title field as the first name, lol.
