Chinese Surname
Meaning: The character 江 refers to a large river, specifically the Yangtze River in modern usage. The Jiang surname originates from the ancient Ying clan, descendants of Zhuanxu, a legendary Chinese emperor. One of their ancestors, Boyi, aided in flood control and was rewarded with the Ying surname. Later, descendants were granted lands in Jiang (present-day Zhenyang, Henan) and adopted the place name as their surname, becoming the Jiang clan.
