The word I call butterfly  by in Chinese doesn't sound a bit like 
Cho either, so this is interesting. However, you wouldn't be able to 
be completely sure what Cho's name means unless you got the exact 
Chinese characters for her name. Chinese has different inflections; 
one sound, such as Cho, could have multiple meanings depending on 
how you pronounce it. The characters-- and hearing the precise 
pronunciation-- are the only way to know which 'cho' is being 
referred to. The sound 'liu', for example, could mean willow, or 
flow of water, depending on how you pronounce it. There are two 
different characters for each meaning, though.
