Meaning & History

Tan

Chinese 谭: from the name of the state of Tan during the Zhou dynasty. After Wu Wang established the Zhou dynasty in 1122 BC, he enfeoffed the state of Tan to a descendant of the model emperor Yu (2205–2198 BC), with the status of Viscount. Descendants adopted the name of the state Tan as their surname.

Chinese 谈: said to be from the name of a certain King Tan of the state of Song, a 36th-generation descendant of its founder (see Song).

Chinese 陈: variant of Chen.

Chinese 覃: there are two groups of bearers of the character for this surname: one pronounced Tan, and the other Qin (see Qin), although both are represented with the same character.

Korean: there are three Chinese characters for this surname; two of them are used by clans that now have only one surviving family each, according to a recent census. Some records indicate that there are 10 clans that use the third character for their surname, but only two can be documented: the Kangüm clan and the Yönan clan. Neither of these clans is very large.
