Hello,
Thanks for your welcomes, Dariush Radpour,Shahrokh Dabiri,Spaceman,
"Ma" is a horse in Chinese. Adding a female gender to the character makes it "mother". In its pictoagram form or bone script it resembles a horse. http://en.wikipedia
I am a naturalized US citizen and was born in Hong Kong. I attended medical school and graduate school in Canada. I have two siblings in US, two in Canada, and one in Hong Kong. I have been living in Houston for the past 20 years.
T. Ma
