Chinese. The surname is one syllable or Chinese name character, while the given name can entail one or two, so the first syllable will be their surname. They typically avoid naming children after any older relatives as this can be seen as disrespectful and avoid naming after celebrities as it could bring back luck. It's good practice to seek a unique combination that harmonises (same theme) with the surname and the other siblings' names.
