This is a Chinese name; the family name is Wen.
Wen Qin (died 257AD), Zhongruo (仲若), was a military general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. He served as the protector of Yang Province. Enraged at Sima Shi on the displacement of the emperor Cao Fang, he then started a rebellion with Guanqiu Jian. During the rebellion, Wen Qin fled to Wu. In 257AD, Wen Qin returned to Shouchun to assist the rebelling Zhuge Dan, who was waging war against Sima Shi's brother, Sima Zhao. As the battle goes on, Wu's supplies in the castle decreased at a fast rate. Wen Qin immediately suggested to Zhuge Dan to surrender to Sima Zhao. Angered by this, Zhuge Dan had Wen Qin executed.
