Lotus flower
Lien is a Vietnamese name derived from the Sino-Vietnamese word for the lotus flower. In many Asian cultures, the lotus is a powerful symbol of purity and spiritual awakening because it rises clean and beautiful from muddy waters. It is a common and beloved name in Vietnam, though it remains rare and distinctive in the United States.
