Hi everyone,

I am an ethnic Chinese person living in Canada. My family name is 印 whose hanyu pinyin is "Yin". I have been thinking about anglicizing my family name for a long time, but no ready English surname comes close to the Mandarin pronunciation.

I just checked an online dictionary and apparently, the pronunciation of the Chinese character in Cantonese sounds very much like "Young" (which is an English surname). This is an exciting discovery, but I just want to double check with native speakers of Cantonese to make sure that it is not too far off.

So the question essentially is: Is it more or less correct to anglicize 印 as "Young" according to how it is pronounced in Cantonese?

thanks!!
