Name Meaning

Chinese: from the vocative prefix 阿 or 亞, used before Chinese personal names (mainly monosyllabic personal names) and kinship terms, particularly in central and southern China.

History: Among early Chinese immigrants in the US, Chinese names prefixed by Ah were widely recorded in the US federal censuses. Ah appears to have been adopted as a new surname by some of the descendants of those early Chinese immigrants.
