First of all, it would be helpful to know what Chinese dialect it is derived from. The language in which it is translated into (English, French, etc..) also may shed some light. I am assumming that this is your family name. The time and location of your ancestors migration from China is also a clue. All that said, Chinese has a lot of homonyms, where different words sound the same and can only be differentiated with the written characters. This all make it very hard to work from a Romanized name to its original. For example, "San" could means "three," or "hill," or many other words. The more other clues you can provide, the better chance you can find the origin of the name.
