China, Asia
“Yi" is the pronunciation of my given name 依, usually meaning "dependence", which here tends to give a picture of a timid and lovable female. “Wen" is the pronunciation of my family name 文, meaning literary/culture/language/writing/... in other situations. In Chinese, the family name is always in front of the given name. And my name, "Wen Yi" sounds almost the same as 文艺, a word standing for "literature and art."
I am from an ethnic minority group in China, 布依 "Bu Yi" (often translated as Bouyi).
