It's so rare that only one kokugo has it. Since it's not used in Japan I think we can skip it.

"The Vietnamese name Thích (釋) is from "Thích Ca" or "Thích Già" (釋迦, "of the Shakya clan"). All Buddhist monastics in East Asian Buddhism adopt this name as their surname, implying that their first family is the Buddhist community."
  Comments:
Nikki says it's arch in Japan, but it still seems to be used elsewhere in the Sinosphere.
