personally i would agree with you here, but the problem is for some character their surnames do have a meaning
for example:
染谷 in 染谷 まこ someone believing this name coming from mahjong term 染め手/染める which mean "A one suit" using the fact mako did often aim for honitsu or chinitsu for her hand.
the same case also can be found in 浦 数絵 (nanba kazue) she is strong in the south round right.
and this is not only with their surnames sometimes their first name also use mahjong term as references just like saki coming from rinshan kaiho
