The character's name is derived from the Chinese word "qigong" (气功 or 氣功), a system of coordinated body movement, breathing, and meditation used for health, spirituality, and martial arts training that allows access to higher realms of awareness, and balance of life energy, similar to Tai chi. This is paired with the Arabic word "Jinn", meaning "genie" or "tutelary spirit." The name translates almost literally as "Guardian Spirit of the Living Force." "Jinn" could also refer to the Chinese word for power, "jin" (勁), and the martial arts concept of "fa jin", which is the explosive release of internal strength or power.
