Not likely. The Muslims in the west of China don't take Han-sounding names. I learned this recently because we have a applicant to our graduate program from Xinjiang province, and neither his name nor any of his references' names sound Chinese. They're odd, Turkic but not stereotypically Muslim-sounding names.

Thanks for the clarification. I've forgotten the name for them, Uighers or something like that, but I didn't know about names. (I do know they have little love for the Han.)

You are correct. Whereas, those are very popular names in Fujian Province and areas near there.
