I'll be happy to give it the college try if you tell me what each character
means.
I imagine your surname is the fairly common "Zhang1" ('bow' radical plus
"chang2", "long" as the phonetic). I can't divine the meanings of the other
two.

I would guess it's "hui4". He's writing phonetically (personally, I'd opt
for [hwe]).

I don't, which is why I'm asking. H.S.? A1hui4 ;)
