Hi!
I'm a second-generation Korean-Chinese who was born and raised in America (parents immigrated here from South Korea).
My father is Chinese who only knows traditional mandarin (I don't know any Chinese whatsoever) and the traditional Chinese writing for my surname is: 畢 (This is not a common Chinese surname either)
I've been learning Japanese since I was in elementary school (I'm taking the JLPT N1 this December) and I wish to work in Japan after graduating college. To make things simpler for me, I would like to go by a Japanese name when I work there, but I want the meaning of my name to carry on to my Japanese name. I already know what the Kanji for my first name translates to, so I do not need help with my first name.
Can anyone give me any ideas as to how I should create my Japanese surname? Checking the dictionary, the kanji for 畢 means "to end" like in 畢竟する (hikkyousuru).
Apparently I believe its old Chinese meaning is "graduation"(?)
