Chinese names mostly consist of three characters. While not the norm, two and four character names can be found. The first character is usually the family name while the last one, two or three are the given name.
As with everything there are some exception to the rule. There are times when in a four character name that the first two characters are the family name. Note that is a usually a rare occurrence.
I have a couple of Chinese friends and their family name is Hsu. Hope I helped.
In many Asian cultures, including Chinese culture, the surname is given greater importance than the given name. It is a way to identify and show respect to one's family lineage. Therefore, it is customary for Chinese people to say their last name before their first name as a sign of respect and to emphasize their family identity.
'Last name' in Chinese is '姓' [xing], which is put before 'first name', and put the two words together is '姓名' [xing ming]. So, 'what is your last name?' translated into Chinese is '你姓什么?' [ni xing she me]. To be more polite, you can ask '你贵姓?' [ni gui xing].
"Jia" in Mandarin Chinese means "home" or "family".
The Chinese language belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language family.
Chinese list the family name first then their given name .

Too many words in the Chinese language that phonetically sound like that, can be first name or family name. Need context to reply further.
