Chinese Surname
Meaning: The surname 聂 (Niè) originates from the Spring and Autumn Period. It is said to have derived from a place called 'Nie' in present-day Jingmen, Hubei, where a minister of the State of Chu was granted land. His descendants adopted the place name as their surname. Another theory suggests the surname comes from the Ji (姬) clan, with descendants of the 10th son of King Wen of Zhou being granted land in 'Nie' and subsequently taking the name. Notable figures include the Tang Dynasty poet Nie Yizhong and the Ming Dynasty general Nie Shicheng.
