EDIT don't take this as a general rule, though, especially in names. 新谷 for instance is shintani.
It's the same for 川 kawa and 小川 ogawa.

hmm though in this case you mentioned the wiki name with the 'no' particle in between... so then, based on what you just said, wouldnt that be two words = muumin no tani?
