Chinese Surname
Meaning: The surname 卞 (Biàn) originates from the Ji clan, a branch of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty. It is said to derive from the fief of Biàn (present-day Sishui, Shandong), granted to descendants of Duke Gao, one of the sons of King Wen of Zhou. Another theory connects it to the Spring and Autumn period, where a descendant of the Lu State's minister Bian Zhuang adopted the surname based on his ancestral name.
