Lista de apellidos chinos comunes

Wikipedia list article

Estas son listas de los apellidos chinos más comunes en China continental (República Popular de China), Taiwán (República de China) y la diáspora china en el extranjero, según lo proporcionan fuentes gubernamentales o académicas autorizadas. Los nombres chinos también forman la base de muchos apellidos camboyanos , vietnamitas , coreanos y japoneses comunes y, hasta cierto punto, apellidos filipinos tanto en la traducción como en la transliteración a esos idiomas.

La concepción de China como compuesta por las " 100 antiguas familias " ( chino :老百姓; pinyin : Lǎo Bǎi Xìng ; literalmente, 'Cien apellidos antiguos') es antigua y tradicional, siendo el recuento más notable la familia Song -era Hundred Apellidos ( chino :百家姓; pinyin : Bǎi Jiā Xìng ). Incluso hoy en día, el número de apellidos en China es un poco más de 4.000, ^[1] mientras que el censo de EE.UU. del año 2000 encontró que hay más de 6.2 millones de apellidos en total ^[2].y que había 150.000 apellidos estadounidenses en manos de al menos 100 personas. ^[3]

La expresión china "Three Zhang Four Li " ( chino simplificado :张三李四; chino tradicional :張三李四; pinyin : Zhāng Sān Lǐ Sì ) se usa para significar "cualquiera" o "todos", ^[4] pero los apellidos más comunes son actualmente Wang en China continental ^[5] y Chen en Taiwán . ^[6] Un dato comúnmente citado de la edición de 1990 del Libro Guinness de los Récords Mundiales estimó que Zhang era el apellido más común en el mundo,^[7] pero en ese momento no se disponía de información completa de China y las ediciones más recientes no han repetido la alegación. Sin embargo, Zhang Wei (张伟) es elnombre completo más comúnen China continental. ^[8]

Los cinco primeros apellidos en China (Wang, Li, Zhang, Liu, Chen) son también los cinco primeros apellidos del mundo, cada uno con más de 70-100 millones en todo el mundo.

China continental

Esta lista de los 100 más comunes apellidos chinos se deriva de China Ministerio de Seguridad Pública informe anual 's en la parte superior 100 apellidos en China, con la versión más reciente informe en enero de 2020 para el año 2019. ^[9] Cuando el 1982 censo chino era publicado por primera vez, no incluía una lista de los principales apellidos. Sin embargo, en 2004, la Oficina Estatal de Correos utilizó posteriormente los datos del censo para publicar una serie de sellos conmemorativos en honor a los apellidos más comunes en 2004. ^{[10] [11]}

El resumen de la encuesta de 2007 reveló que China tenía aproximadamente 92,881,000 Wangs (7.25% de la población), 92,074,000 Lis (7.19%) y 87,502,000 Zhangs (6.83%). ^[5]

Una encuesta de 2018 mostró que Liu y Chen eran los siguientes más comunes en China continental con más de 70 millones cada uno. ^[12]

Estos cinco apellidos principales — Wang, Li, Zhang, Liu, Chen — por sí solos representaron más personas que Indonesia , el cuarto país más poblado del mundo, ^[13] y su número total es alrededor de la población de EE. UU., La tercera más país poblado del mundo.

Los siguientes cinco , Yang , Huang , Zhao , Wu y Zhou, fueron compartidos por más de 20 millones de chinos. Doce más ( Xu , Sun , Ma , Zhu , Hu , Guo , He , Gao , Lin , Luo , Zheng y Liang  ) fueron compartidos por más de 10 millones.

En conjunto, los cien primeros apellidos representaron el 84,77% de la población de China. ^{[5] [14]} A modo de comparación, el censo de 2000 encontró que el apellido más común en los Estados Unidos  , Smith  , tenía menos de 2.4 millones de ocurrencias y representaba solo el 0.84% ​​de la población general. Los 100 primeros apellidos representaban sólo el 16,4% de la población de EE. UU. ^[3] y alcanzar el 89,8% de la población de EE. UU. Requería más de 150 000 apellidos. ^[2]

Taiwan

According to a comprehensive survey of residential permits released by the Taiwanese Ministry of the Interior's Department of Population in 2016, Taiwan has only 1,503 surnames.^[6] The top ten surnames in Taiwan accounted for 52.77% of the general population, and the top 100 accounted for 96.56%.

Other surveys

• 1994–2011: The American researcher Chih-Hao Tsai has compiled unauthoritative annual surveys of the most common surnames on Taiwan^[23] based on published lists of all successful applicants taking Taiwan's Joint College Entrance Exam.^[24] 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%.^[24]

Philippines

Chinese Filipinos whose ancestors came to the Philippines from 1898 onward usually have single syllable Chinese surnames. On the other hand, most Chinese ancestors 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 full Chinese names which were transliterated in Spanish orthography and adopted as surnames.

Common Chinese Filipino surnames are: Ong/Wong (Wang, 王), Lee/Dy/Sy (Li, 李), Chan/Tan (Chen, 陈), Lao/Lew (Liu, 刘), Tiong/Chong (Zhang, 张), Yung/Yana/Auyong/Awyoung (Yang, 杨), Ng/Uy/Wee (Huang, 黄), Tiu/Chiu/Chio/Chu (Zhao, 赵).

There are also multiple syllable Chinese surnames that are Spanish transliterations of Hokkien words. Surnames like Tuazon (Eldest Grandson, 大孫), Dizon (Second Grandson, 二孫), Samson/Sanson (Third Grandson, 三孫), Sison (Fourth Grandson, 四孫), Gozon/Goson/Gozum (Fifth Grandson, 五孫), Lacson (Sixth Grandson, 六孫) are examples of transliterations of designations that use the Hokkien suffix -son (孫) 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" (孫) is listed in the classic Chinese text Hundred Family Surnames, perhaps shedding light on the Hokkien suffix -son used here as a surname alongside some sort of accompanying enumeration scheme.

Canada

Statistics Canada has not released a list of common surnames for any of its recent censuses, but much of the Canadian Chinese population is clustered in Metro Vancouver and Greater Victoria in British Columbia and the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area and the Ottawa-Gatineau Area in Ontario, as well as in some emerging major clusters, such as the Calgary–Edmonton Corridor in Alberta, Montreal, and the Communauté métropolitaine de Québec (Quebec Community Metropolitan Area) in Quebec.

Ontario

A 2010 study by Baiju Shah & al data-mined the Registered Persons Database of Canadian health card recipients in the province of Ontario for a particularly Chinese-Canadian name list. Ignoring potentially non-Chinese spellings such as Lee (49,898 total),^{[27]:Table 1} they found that the most common Chinese names in Ontario were:^[27]

Indonesia

Main article: Chinese Indonesian surname

Nearly as large is the Chinese Indonesian community. The 2010 Indonesian census reported more than 2.8 million self-identified Chinese, or about 1% of the general population.^[28] 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 of Suharto, but Chinese Indonesian names remain a mix of Indonesian, pinyin, peh-oe-ji, and Dutch-spelled Hokkien.

Malaysia

During the 2010 Malaysian Census, approximately 6,960,000 Malaysians of Chinese race.^[29] Chinese is the second largest race in Malaysia, after the Malays.

• Do take note that the 7th most common surname in China, 趙/赵, is extremely rare in Singapore.
• The surname list is not accurate, as the English surnames may actually have many variants not listed above. E.g. The 16th surname 'Low' can be 劉/刘, 廖,卢 or 羅/罗 in Chinese. The 1st surname Tan (陳/陈) is also a pinyin romanisation for the locally rare surname (談/谈) or (譚/谭).

Thailand

Main article: Thai name

The largest Chinese diaspora community in the world are the Chinese Thais (or Sino-Thais), who make up 12–14%^[31][32] of the total Thai population. However, very few 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 may not adopt the surname of their clansmen unless they can show actual kinship.

United States

The 2010 US Census found 3,794,673 self-identified Chinese Americans and 230,382 self-identified Taiwanese Americans,^[33] up from 2,734,841 Chinese Americans and 144,795 Taiwanese Americans in 2000.^[34]

Although the Chinese make up the largest segment of the U.S. Asian and Pacific Islander population,^[35] the most common Chinese-derived surname during the 2000 census was not itself Chinese but the Vietnamese Nguyễn (Chinese: 阮, Ruǎn).^[3]
