Chinese Surname
Meaning: The character 田 originally refers to farmland or fields. One origin story traces the Tian surname back to the Spring and Autumn Period, where a prince of the Chen Kingdom, due to internal strife, fled to the State of Qi and was appointed as the Minister of Industry, changing his surname to 田. Another theory suggests it originated from the official title 田正, who was in charge of agricultural affairs.
