If you wish to know how Jias' name is properly spelled or its meaning you need to have the Chinese characters. For any given word in chinese there are 4 ways to pronounce it, each with a different meaning. When written in roman charecters the Pingyin charecters are left out. If you can find a copy of her chinese signature you can translate to pingyin.

Dong(falling tone)= move, change, arouse...freeze, a building...
Dong(flat tone)= east, winter.
Dong (rising/falling)= Understand

Chinese words defined by the context of the sentence more than most languages.
