Tips

culture

柳 is a relatively uncommon surname (about 0.1% of the population) but recognizable from poet 柳宗元 (Liu Zongyuan, Tang dynasty) and general 柳传志 (Liu Chuanzhi, Lenovo founder). 刚 ('firm / strong') is a classic masculine given name. The combination shows up frequently in TV/film as a generic 'ordinary guy' name.
