Cyberian Posted January 28, 2005 at 01:17 PM Report Posted January 28, 2005 at 01:17 PM Hi, I am looking for a site where I find Chinese last names in pinyin and Simplified. Also including the meaning of the last name. Thanks in advance for the help. Quote
liuzhou Posted January 28, 2005 at 02:37 PM Report Posted January 28, 2005 at 02:37 PM If, by last names, you mean family names (which come first in Chinese) then http://zhongwen.com/xingshi.htm is what you want. Click on any character for the pinyin and translation. Quote
Cyberian Posted January 28, 2005 at 03:55 PM Author Report Posted January 28, 2005 at 03:55 PM Yes, I meant family name. I forgot to include where the family is most common or origin of it. The site you have provide is good, but doesn't mention. Quote

Claw Posted January 28, 2005 at 07:39 PM Report Posted January 28, 2005 at 07:39 PM If you click on the character itself, it will show the simplified version in brackets if one exists. Also, if you click on the Chinese Surnames link on the bottom of that page, it will take you to another site that has explanations for many of the surnames. Quote
