Tips

culture
Most strongly associated with Tom Sawyer, hero of Mark Twain's 1876 novel 汤姆·索耶历险 (Tāngmǔ Suǒyē Lìxiǎn Jì). The original English surname means 'one who saws wood.' Also widely used as a generic English-surname transliteration in TV subtitles (e.g. James 'Sawyer' Ford in Lost / 迷失).
mistakes
An older transliteration uses (Suǒyà) — you'll see both in book titles. CC-CEDICT lists 汤姆历险; modern editions tend to print 索耶.
