苏卿 is best known as the courtesan heroine of Qing-dynasty playwright Zhu Youdun's zaju and other classical works, often paired with the merchant
双渐 (Shuāng Jiàn).
卿 carries a literary, affectionate ring (it can mean 'dear' or be used as an old form of address between intimates), giving names like
苏卿 a tender, refined feel.
