Explanation:
Three-character names (first being the family name) are most common in China. Two-character names constitute a much smaller minority.
The name proposed above has "He 禤," the firsts character, as surname, . Of the tens of thousands of Chinese characters, only a limited number, believed to be below 250, are used as family names. He 禤is among them, and in the middle range on a popularity list. Although it has its own meaning (congratulate, offer good wishes, etc.), used as a family name its intrinsic meaning usually carries little weight and is not worthy of attention.

The second character means "overcoming, mastering, conquering, etc." The third means "jasmine, a fragrant flower." (flower names usually indicate femininity.) In choosing all three characters, one tries to imitate the main sounds in the original name.
