Founded in February 2019, henmeide® was born from Annabel's brain out of sheer curiosity
and joy at Valentine's Day dinner with a friend. It was initially coined henmeican,
which means (in Singlish) "very beautiful, can?". A few days later, as if struck by the lightning of creativity
and divine intervention, the word transited to henmeide, a more accurate representation of what the brand entails.

The word henmeide carries three puns across two languages. The Chinese phrase 很美的 is an ascription of beauty.
This is a pun on Annabel's Chinese name, 镁, which reads as /mei/, but it means magnesium.
Lastly, when read phonetically in its entirety, henmeide is handmade.
