Since the syllable Cheng represents different sounds in Hanyu pinyin and the Wade\u2013Giles systems of Chinese romanization, some ambiguity will  exist as to which sound is represented by the letters “Cheng” if the romanisation and tone is not known. Also within each system of romanisation, each syllable can represent one of several different characters, as with any Chinese syllable.In the pinyin system of romanization (usually used in China), the most common surnames romanized as Cheng are \u7a0b and \u6210.  In 2019 \u7a0b was the 44th most common surname in Mainland China.[1]In names romanized in Wade\u2013Giles (usually used in Taiwan), Cheng is most commonly a transcription of \u912d\/\u90d1 (pinyin Zh\u00e8ng). Cheng can also be the Cantonese version of Zheng (\u912d) and Jing (\u4e95), non-standard romanization of Cen (\u5c91), and Teochew or Hokkien pronunciation of Zhong (\u937e) and Zhuang (\u838a).[2]Further confusion arises because Wade\u2013Giles often appears without the required apostrophes (which indicates aspiration), and thus some Wade\u2013Giles names which are properly romanized Ch’eng (such as \u7a0b pinyin Ch\u00e9ng) will appear as Cheng.Table of ContentsOrigins[edit]Notable people surnamed \u7a0b[edit]Notable people surnamed \u6210[edit]Saine srkar[edit]References[edit]Origins[edit]There are a number of accounts of the origin of the same \u6210 (Ch\u00e9ng) surname. It was the name of fiefdom Cheng (\u90d5) in Henan belong to Shu Wu, a son of King Wen of Zhou. His descendants adopted the name Cheng, simplifying it to \u6210 by dropping the radical. Similarly descendants of Ji Zai, who was granted another fief of the same name in Shandong by King Wu of Zhou, also simplified the name and adopted it as their surname. The name may also be derived from a fief of the name Cheng \u6210 in the state of Lu.  Descendants of a Cheng Hu (\u6210\u864e), son of the ruler of Chu Ruo’ao, also adopted Cheng as their surname.  Others are descendants of Tu Ge invaders and other tribes in China.[2]The Ch\u00e9ng (\u7a0b) surname may have come from a fief named Cheng in Henan, as well as another in Shaanxi.[2]See article on Zheng for the origins of the surname Zheng (\u912d).Notable people surnamed \u7a0b[edit]Amy Cheng, Singaporean actressCheng Bing, official of Eastern Wu in the Three Kingdoms periodCheng Hong, spouse of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, an English professor at the Capital University of Economics and BusinessCheng Lei,  Chinese-born Australian television news anchor and business reporterCheng Pu, general serving under the warlord Sun Quan in the late Eastern Han dynastyCheng Qian, a Chinese military general in the late 1910sCheng Wei-hao, Taiwanese film director and screenwriterCheng Yu, official serving under the warlord Cao Cao in the late Eastern Han dynastyBrian Ching, an American-born Chinese football playerCh’eng Mao-y\u00fcn, composerChing Cheong (Cheng Xiang), Chinese journalist with the Singapore newspaper The Straits Times, imprisoned in China for five years on charges of espionageFran\u00e7ois Cheng, French writer, poet and calligrapherHenry Thia, Singaporean actor and comedianJiaxin Cheng (born 1974), Chinese-born cellist, wife of Julian Lloyd WebberWillard Cheng, ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs Malaca\u00f1ang correspondentWoeser (Han name Cheng Wensa [\u7a0b\u6587\u8428]), Tibetan poet and essayistJohn S.

Cheng usually is only seen to be applied to the last name due to the meaning and nature of the chosen ‘Cheng’, if it was ‘\u6210’ where it means ‘to become’ then it is suited best as a last name as it symbolises a foreseeing connotation and would make more sense at the end of a name, but also in Chinese name layout, the last name is usually said first. whereas if it were ‘\u6f84’ meaning ‘clarity’, then it would be more likely seen as a first name, this usually appears in the middle of the name in Chinese format.References[edit]  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/cheng-surname-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Cheng (surname) – Wikipedia"}}]}]
