Hi:

Please give us a little more information. In what country is this name found? It is most likely a patronymic, that is, a name derived from the name of an ancestor. These types of names are common for people with Chinese ancestry in countries like the Philippines. Sometimes the real surname is part of the name, sometimes it is not. For example, if Sinjian is from the Philippines, it is possible that the real surname is Sin 辛.
