Name Meaning

1 Chinese 唐: variant of Tang 2.2 Chinese 汤: variant of Tang 3.3 Chinese 佟: from a modification of the character Zhong (终). In the Xia dynasty ( 2205–1766 bc ), there existed a senior adviser whose name was Zhonggu. Much later, in the Ming dynasty ( 1368–1644 ad ), some descendants settled along a river that became known as the Tong Family river. As the Manchus moved southwards, some took up residence by this river and they too adopted Tong as their surname.
