Chinese Surname
Meaning: The character 石 originally refers to stone or rock. The Shi surname has multiple origins. One theory traces it back to the Zhou Dynasty (1046–256 BCE) and the state of Wei, where a minister named Shi Que was granted land with the character 石, leading his descendants to adopt it as their surname. Another theory links it to the royal family of Wei. Additionally, some ethnic minorities changed their surnames to 石.
