Meaning of my Hokkien Name

[fenrir1986]

Hi, I'm an Indonesian Chinese and my full name is Ang Hiem Hok, my grandfather was the person named me and my parents told me that my name was in Hokkien, the problem is that they didn't know the meaning of my middle name "Hiem" (my grandfather already past before my parents ask him about my name's meaning). Ang in my name refer to Hong in Mandarin which mean flood, and Hok refer to Fu in Mandarin which mean lucky. So please anyone help me to translate "Hiem" in Mandarin, its hanyu pinyin, and also its meaning. Many thanks for the help^^

In order to make it easier to do some guesswork for "Hiem Hok", you should tell us whether this is a male or female name.

There are two characters in Taiwanese Hokkien that are pronounced "him" (which is as close to "hiem" as TwHk gets): 歆 and 熊. For a name, I would guess the former is the most likely candidate.

I think 賢 is highly possible although the romanisation is 'Hien'

You could also try 當代泉州音字彙 for other candidate characters. Try typing in 歆 or 賢 into the search field and you should get a list of other characters with the same pronunciation.
