Chinese Surname
Meaning: The surname 戴 (Dài) has its origins in the Zhou Dynasty (1046–256 BCE) and is derived from the state of Dai, which was granted to Boqin, a younger brother of King Wu of Zhou. After the state of Dai was destroyed, the royal family adopted the state name as their surname. Another branch of the Dai lineage traces back to the Shang Dynasty, from the Duke of Dai, whose descendants took his posthumous title as their surname.
