"Ye" means a brilliant blaze and is often used in given names.
Tips
usage
A literary word for dazzling firelight, often doubled as 烨烨 ('blazing brightly'). Its 'brilliant, glorious' connotation makes it a popular given-name character, suggesting a bright future.
The right side 华 'splendid' both supplies the sound (huá shifting to yè) and reinforces the meaning - fire plus splendor gives 'dazzling brilliance'. In the full traditional form 燁 the phonetic is the unsimplified 華.
