This is a Chinese name; the family name is Bao (鮑).

Bao Xin (152 - 192) was an imperial general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty in ancient China. Initially, he participated in the imperial campaign against the Yellow Turbans along with other regional warlords. After the rise of the tyrannical Dong Zhuo, who usurped the power of the Imperial Court, Bao joined the campaign against Dong Zhuo. During a battle at Sishui Pass, he disobeyed orders from the alliance's leader Yuan Shao and instructed his younger brother, Bao Zhong, to engage the enemy commander Hua Xiong, with around 5,000 armored cavalry. However, the raid failed and Bao Zhong was slain.

Later he served under Xiahou Dun, one of Cao Cao's highest-ranked generals. He was killed in 192 in an assault against one of the Yellow Turban rebels' strongholds in Shouzhang (southwest of present day Dongping County).^[1]
