Wen means culture, and is used in Chinese names (like Meiwen) for instance.

I've also read that Na means "graceful", but I'm not sure of that.

Of course, Cantonese and Mandarin are different but some words may be the same.

"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
