WADE - "walk with effort through water or another liquid or viscous substance". His English name is a direct remark to the difficulty of developing WADE's 3 voicebanks, especially English.
Translating his Chinese name directly into English, means:

水(shuǐ) - Water
印(yìn) - Mark
It basically means "Ice cold watermark"
