Ha DabateerHada Bateer – This is a Mongolian name, which is technically a mononym since Mongolians traditionally don't use surnames. If we have to add a space since this is what the world culture demands now, we have to do it correctly. "Hada" ("Khad", meaning "Rock" or "Crag") and "Bateer" ("Baatar", meaning "warrior", see Baghatur) are recognizable words in Mongolian. "Ha" and "Dabateer" are not. The mistake may have originated from the fact that he is a Chinese national, and "Ha" is indeed a Chinese surname. However, "Dabateer" is not possibly a Chinese given name, which always contains 1–3 syllables (characters), never 4. (Unlike in English, there are actually 2 syllables in "-teer" if it's rendered into Chinese).
