zh:金山法海 says "取名为法海", which sounds to me like 法海 is a two-character given name rather than a surname plus a given name. If that's right it should be "Fahai" (which would also be consistent with the article Huineng). But others may know more than I do. —Granger (talk · contribs) 18:14, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree: Mx. Granger's opinion is correct. In Chinese culture, the Buddhistic religious name does not have its own surname. It just has its own first name.--波斯波莉斯 (talk) 03:22, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Dears, Mx. Granger, 波斯波莉斯, May i ask you. Xiaoqing does not have own surname?VocalIndia (talk) 07:56, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe she doesn't? Certainly Xiao (小) does not look like a surname to me. —Granger (talk · contribs) 18:48, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
