    Question Help to understand a Vietnamese name

    Can somebody please help me to understand a Vietnamese name?
    I have received a business letter from a person named TING LUEY. It was written in capital letters like this.
    I am unsure how to enter this person into my client database because I dont know which name comes first.
    Can you please tell me which name is the family name (surname) and which is the given (first) name?

    Many thanks
    Karen

    it looks like an asian name but it's not a Vietnamese name, maybe it's Chinese name
    in Vietnam, there are some common surnames such as Phan, Pham, Ly, Le, Lam, Tran, Truong, Do, Dang, Nguyen, Vu

    TING (first) LUEY (surname): Chinese.
    (This has been confirmed as above by a Chinese-American.)
    Hope this would be helpful.

    Be carefull.
    It is not Vietnamese name. It may not be a Chinese name. I guess. It may be a secret name
