Ding () is one of the simplest written Chinese family names (the only two characters that are simpler are "一" and "乙"), written in two strokes. ==Origins== Ding is the 46th most common surname in China. There are four main hypothesised sources of Ding: *The earliest record of this surname in history was the Duke of Ding during the Shang Dynasty. *The name derived from the ancestral surname Jiang. Duke Ding of Qi was the second recorded ruler of the State of Qi. After his death, his descendants adopted his posthumous name Ding as their clan name in his honor. *During Spring and Autumn period, the descendants of Duke Ding of Song also used Ding as their last name. *During the Three Kingdoms period, a general, Sun Kuang of the Wu kingdom, accidentally burnt the food supply and as a punishment, the king Sun Quan ordered this general to change his last name to Ding; the king did not want to bear the same last name as the general. The hometown of Dings is supposedly northwest of Dingtao, Shandong.〔http://www.yutopian.com/names/02/2ding46.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ding (surname)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
