Frances Cha: Hi. My name is Frances Cha. Cha is actually a very uncommon family name in Korea, and in Korea, the pronunciation is Cha. It means vehicle, and it dates back to the 10th century to a one-clan from a place called Yonan. So in Korea we call the last names by clan names. So in Korea, my last name would be Yonan Cha to differentiate it from the other clans. And in the States, people just pronounce it Cha.
