Surname Gloss

In its German translation, the source labels “邻” as “Lin (Eig, Fam),” where “Fam” explicitly indicates a family-name or surname sense. Thus, this source does treat “邻” as a surname; however, it does not identify the relevant naming system, country, ethnic group, or linguistic tradition.
