As a service to IAACI members, Onomastix offers the Chinese Surnames Guide, a reference resource intended to help the law enforcement community cope more effectively with the complex ways in which Chinese surnames may be represented in romanized forms.

The information provided in this Guide is excerpted from the Onomastix Name Reference Library™, an interactive encyclopedia of cultural, linguistic and statistical information about names from key cultures and language-groups around the world. To learn more about the Onomastix Name Reference Library, please visit our Web site, or e-mail us. Onomastix provides advanced products and solutions for improved handling of names to Federal, state and local governments, and to commercial clients.

To use the Chinese Surnames Guide, supply either a Chinese surname in romanized form, or a Standard Telegraphic Code (STC) value on the query form, or both.

On each line of the search results, you will see the romanized name, the romanization method, the STC for that character, the 32-bit Unicode value for the traditional Chinese character, and the traditional Chinese character itself. Note that there are also other romanizations possible for these names, especially when they are found in different dialects or cultures. We will supply these other forms (as well as Given Name support) in the near future.

We hope that IAACI members find this Chinese Surnames Guide helpful, and we welcome any comments, corrections or additions to this Guide, using the e-mail link shown above.
