The word "伯恩" is formed by combining the character 伯, composed of the radical 亻 (person) and the phonetic component 白, with the character 恩, composed of the radical 心 (heart) and the phonetic component 因; in this case, the characters are selected primarily for their phonetic values to approximate the sounds of foreign names like "Bern" or "Byrne", rather than for their literal meanings.
