Zhao is a surname but given the character meanings "赵云“ 赵 means to find and 云 means cloud so it could mean to find clouds but it all depends on other people s Point Of View

politics and looks aside, it's an awesome sounding name, even if I did use up my entire vowel budget for the month googling him. I'm also jealous of people with the real last name Savage. Not only is it a cool name, at least one of them is a good kisser; it was nothing at all like a handshake.

Zhao is the surname. It has no specific meaning - just a name.
Yun is the given name. It means 'cloud'.
