My husband's family name (Chinitz) derives from China (Khina, var. of 
Hannah), the daughter of the Vilna Gaon, who was the avowed enemy of the Baal 
Shem 
Tov and Chassidism.  She was credited with healing powers and people would 
travel to be cured by her.  Just an interesting aside about daughters of 
Chassidim 
vs. Misnagdim and their relative standing.
