I am not sure if "Asian-sounding" described my last name or not, but with that said, even though many people mistake it as being Japanese or Hawaiian, Homayouni is a Persian name. It means "fortunate" or "royal".

I remembered that! Iran is in Asia, right?

Iran is in Western Asia, but when I hear Asian-sounding, I think it refers to Eastern Asian languages. Asian is not a very specific or useful label when grouping the vastly different cultures of Western and Eastern Asia. I'd subdivide those labels a bit.
