Like a beautiful rainbow that brightens up the sky after a rainy day, your little one has the same effect on you and can put a smile on your face. While many may associate this name with the Chinese surname Cai with the given name Hong, this girl’s name proudly stands on its own with the meaning of “rainbow.” Surprisingly, this name also has prehistoric roots leading back to small dinosaurs that lived in China in the Late Jurassic period.
