[–] rish@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Nope, never met anyone with that name permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kayjay@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago Sources say it’s of Hindi origin, but when I actually checked the statistics, it says there’s only 130 people in India with the name, while there’s ~56 million in China. So it seems to be mostly a Chinese name. Although further googling seems to indicate that’s the Chinese name for "Mrs."… so it might be that these sources are reading the title field as the first name, lol. permalink fedilink source parent
