The eight great surnames of Chinese antiquity were among the most important Chinese surnames in Chinese antiquity. [1] [2] They are all Chinese ancestral surnames [ citation needed ],and as such,have Chinese clan surnames branching off from them. [3] During the earliest Chinese antiquity,Chinese society focused on women. Family names often passed from women to their children. Because of this phenomenon,these eight surnames have a component of their hanzi representing the character woman (女). [1] [4]
As of 2019,very few people had one of these surnames as a family name. [2] An exception is the surnames Yao [5] [2] and Jiang. [6] [2] Of these,there are some well-known Chinese of modern times with these names today. One example is Yao Ming (姚明). [7]
姞is also sometimes considered one of the eight great surnames of Chinese antiquity. 姞then replaces the surname 妊.
