Wuxia name?

What does Wuxia name decide by? I'm new to writing wuxia novels and I don't know, so I'm curious. Some help.

All three thing but mostly character names.

For example, a girl can be known as Xuan Hua (hua sounding like flower or culture), or if you want a pretty brave guy you can name him Yong (which is written with the character for courage/bravery). Chinese names are pretty easy especially since you can translate the qualities you want your characters to have into the language. A smart character can be named Cong, a sharp character Jian, a strong character Qiang, a proud character Ao, etc. It takes a bit of familiarity with the languages, but that's usually how it works out.
Thanks a lot!
