Chinese Surname
Meaning: The surname 怀 (Huái) has its origins in both ancient China and some ethnic minorities. One theory suggests it comes from the descendants of King Huai of Chu, who took the name from their ancestor's posthumous title. Another theory links it to the place name Huái (怀邑) in present-day Wuzhi, Henan, where people adopted the name of their hometown. There is also a possibility that some Huái surnames originated from少数民族改姓 (minority groups adopting Han Chinese surnames).
