Bai is a concise, unisex given name most closely linked to Chinese 白 (Bái), meaning white, pure, bright.

It may also reference the Bai ethnic group in cultural identity choices.

Meaning and form depend on the written character and tone: Bái (白, white), Bǎi (柏, cypress; 佰, hundred), or Bài (less common, with negative senses). Romanized variants include Pai in Wade-Giles and, in Cantonese, Bak or Paak; cognates or Sino-derived equivalents appear as Baek/Paek in Korean, Bạch in Vietnamese, and Haku or Shira- in Japanese. In Thai, bai (ใบ) means leaf and works as a nature-inspired given name or nickname. In South Asia, Bai is a feminine honorific rather than a forename.
