as for "Yang" being her name, and they keeping it european. Remember the world of RWBY isn't this world, but has alot of references to it. Each of them seem to be came from diferent places that have a place alot alike in this world, Weiss for example really seem to be in Germany, and her name also makes you think it must be that. Blake seem to be from Japan-like place or something, which by the fact Adam uses a Katana like weapon, makes you think of that possibility. Ruby sort of seems to be came from a place alike england. Its possible that Yellow is from a China-like place. Also, we can't be totally sure if Yang is her name, maybe its pseudonym, who knows.
