Well I'm no expert on Asian names ...but I'm willing to learn ...after adventuring around the web a bit ...here's a start ...

"Singh" in Hindu means 'Lion'

"Chung" in Vietnamese means 'common'

I suspect it's a compound name as I've seen none with so many syllables, but doubtful that it comes from two different languages ...but again, at least it's a start ...any help out there from Asian specialists would be appreciated!!!
