List of common Chinese surnames

These are lists of the most commonChinese surnamesinChina(People's Republic of China),Taiwan(Republic of China), and theChinese diasporaoverseas as provided by authoritative government or academic sources.Chinese namesalso form the basis for many commonCambodian,Vietnamese,Korean,andJapanese surnamesand to an extent,Filipino surnamesin both translation and transliteration into those languages.

The conception of China as consisting of the "old 100 families"(Chinese:Dân chúng;pinyin:Lǎo Bǎi Xìng;lit.'Old Hundred Surnames') is an ancient and traditional one, the most notable tally being theSong-eraHundred Family Surnames(Chinese:Bách Gia Tính;pinyin:Bǎi Jiā Xìng). Even today, the number of surnames in China is a little over 4,000,while the year2000 US censusfound there are more than 6.2 million surnames altogetherand that the number of surnames held by 100 or more Americans (per name) was just over 150,000.

The Chinese expression "ThreeZhangFourLi"(simplified Chinese:Trương Tam Lý Tứ;traditional Chinese:Trương Tam Lý Tứ;pinyin:Zhāng Sān Lǐ Sì) is used to mean "anyone" or "everyone",but the most common surnames are currentlyWanginmainland ChinaandCheninTaiwan.A commonly citedfactoidfrom the 1990 edition of theGuinness Book of World Recordsestimated that Zhang was the most common surname in the world,but no comprehensive information from China was available at the time and more recent editions have not repeated the claim. However,Zhang Wei(Trương vĩ) is the most commonfullname in mainland China.

The top five surnames in China – Wang, Li, Zhang, Liu, Chen – are also the top five surnames in the world, each with over 70-100 million worldwide.

China

This list of the 100 most commonChinese surnamesderives from China'sMinistry of Public Security's annual report on the top 100 surnames in China, with the latest report release in January 2020 for the year 2019.When the1982 Chinese censuswas first published, it did not include a list of top surnames. However, in 2004, theState Post Bureausubsequently used the census data to release a series of commemorative stamps in honor of the then-most-common surnames in 2004.

The summary of the 2007 survey revealed China had approximately 92,881,000Wangs(7.25% of the population), 92,074,000Lees(7.19%), and 87,502,000Zhangs(6.83%).

A 2018 survey showed thatLiuandChenwere the next most common China with more than 70 million each.

These top five surnames – Wang, Lee(Li), Zhang, Liu, Chen – alone accounted for more people thanIndonesia,the fourth most populous country in the world,and their total number is around the population of the US, the third most populous country in the world.

The next five –Yang,Huang,Zhao,Wu,andZhou– were each shared by more than 20 million Chinese. Twelve more –Xu,Sun,Ma,Zhu,Hu,Guo,He,Gao,Lin,Luo,Zheng,andLiang– were each shared by more than 10 million.

All together, the top hundred surnames accounted for 84.77% of China's population.By way of comparison, the 2000 census found the most common surname in theUnited States–Smith– had fewer than 2.4 million occurrences and made up only 0.84% of the general population. The top 100 surnames accounted for only 16.4% of the US population,and reaching 89.8% of the US population required more than 150,000 surnames.

Other surveys

• 1994–2011: The American researcher Chih-Hao Tsai has compiled unauthoritative annual surveys of the most common surnames on Taiwanbased on published lists of all successful applicants taking Taiwan'sJoint College Entrance Exam.The test was mandatory for college entrance until 2002 and is still quite common, with more than a hundred thousand successful applicants a year and a pass rate for all test takers between 60 and 90%.

Philippines

Chinese Filipinoswhose ancestors came to the Philippines from 1898 onward usually have single syllable Chinese surnames. On the other hand, most who have Chinese ancestors who came to the Philippines prior to 1898 usually have multiple-syllable Chinese surnames such as Gokongwei, Ongpin, Pempengco, Yuchengco, Teehankee, and Yaptinchay among such others. These were originally fullChinese nameswhich were transliterated inSpanishorthography and adopted as surnames.

Common Chinese Filipino surnames are: Tan/Chan (Trần / trần), Dy/Dee/Lee/Li (Lý), Sy/See/Siy/Sze (Thi), Lim/Lam (Lâm), Chua/Choa/Choi (Thái), Yap/Ip (Diệp / diệp), Co/Ko/Kho (Hứa / hứa), Ko/Gao/Caw (Cao), Ho/Haw/Hau/Caw (Hầu), Cua/Kua/Co/Kho/Ko (Kha), Coo/Khoo/Kho/Cu/Kuh (Khâu), Go/Ngo/Wu (Ngô / Ngô), Ong/Wong (Vương), Ang/Hong/Hung (Hồng), Lao (Lưu / Lưu), Tiu/Cheung (Trương / trương), Yu/Young (Dương / dương), Auyong/Awyoung (Âu Dương / Âu Dương), Ng/Uy/Wee/Hong/Wong/Huang (Hoàng), Tiu/Chiu/Chio/Chu (Triệu / Triệu), Chu/Chiu/Chow (Chu), King (Cung), Chan (Từng), Ty/Tee (Trịnh / Trịnh), Ching/Cheng/Chong (Trang / trang), Que/Cue/Kwok (Quách), Leong/Liong/Leung (Lương), etc.

There are also multiple-syllable Chinese surnames that are Spanish transliterations ofHokkienwords. Surnames like Tuazon (Eldest Grandson, đại tôn ), Dizon (Second Grandson, nhị tôn ), Samson/Sanson (Third Grandson, tam tôn ), Sison (Fourth Grandson, bốn tôn ), Gozon/Goson/Gozum (Fifth Grandson, năm tôn ), Lacson (Sixth Grandson, sáu tôn ), Tecson/Tiocson/Teoxon (Seventh Grandson, đức tôn / đế áo sâm / Đông Dương thuận ) and Sioson (Eight Grandson, tây áo sâm ) are examples of transliterations of designations that use the Hokkien suffix -son ( tôn ) used as surnames for some Chinese Filipinos who trace their ancestry from Chinese immigrants to the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period. The surname"Son/Sun"( tôn ) is listed in the classic Chinese textHundred Family Surnames,perhaps shedding light on the Hokkien suffix -son used here as a surname alongside some sort of accompanying enumeration scheme.

Indonesia

Main article:Chinese Indonesian surname

Nearly as large is theChinese Indonesiancommunity. The2010 Indonesian censusreported more than 2.8 million self-identified Chinese, or about 1% of the general population.Just as in Thailand, though, previous legislation (in this case,127/U/Kep/12/1966) had banned ethnic Chinese surnames throughout the country. This law was abolished after the removal ofSuharto,butChinese Indonesian namesremain a mix ofIndonesian,pinyin,peh-oe-ji,and Dutch-spelled Hokkien.

• As most Singaporeans of Chinese descent have ancestors which originated from Southern China, mainly from Fu gian, Guangdong and Hainan, the distribution of surnames in Singapore is quite different from that of Mainland China.
• As there are a variety of dialectgroups in Singapore, the same surname in Chinese characters may be romanised in several different ways in Singapore. Some less common Chinese transcriptions of the 20 most common romanised surnames may not be listed in the table above.

Newer version

There is a newer list of most common surnames in Singapore from an unknown year.Some numbers are missing as the original list contains several non-Chinese surnames, which have been excluded from the table below.

Thailand

Main article:Thai name

The largest Chinese diaspora community in the world are theChinese Thais(or Sino-Thais), who make up 12–14%of the total Thai population. However,veryfew of the Chinese Thais have Chinese surnames, after the 1913 Surname Act that required the adoption of Thai surnames in order to enjoy Thai citizenship. Moreover, the same law requires that those possessing the same surname be related, meaning that immigrant Chinese maynotadopt the surname of their clansmen unless they can show actual kinship.

United States

The2010 US Censusfound 3,794,673 self-identifiedChinese Americansand 230,382 self-identifiedTaiwanese Americans,up from 2,734,841Chinese Americansand 144,795Taiwanese Americansin 2000.

Although theChinesemake up the largest segment of the U.S.Asian and Pacific Islanderpopulation,the most common Chinese-derived surname during the2000 censuswas not itself Chinese but the VietnameseNguyễn(Chinese:Nguyễn,Ruǎn).

During the 2000 census, the 10 most common Chinese American names were:
