Tips

culture
范·海辛 transliterates the surname Van Helsing — Professor Abraham Van Helsing, the Dutch vampire hunter from Bram Stoker's 1897 novel 《德古拉》 (Dracula). The character was reimagined as Gabriel Van Helsing in the 2004 Hollywood film 《范·海辛》 starring Hugh Jackman. The middle dot · marks the boundary between the Dutch nobility particle 'Van' and the surname 'Helsing'.
memory
(Fàn) = 'Van' (the Dutch 'of/from' particle, not a Chinese surname here despite being a real surname). (Hǎixīn) = 'Helsing' — for the 'Hel-' sound, for the '-sing' ending.
