Chinese Surname
Meaning: The surname 漆 (Qī) originates from the name of a tree, also known as lacquer, and the lacquer made from its sap. Historically, it is derived from the Qī tribe, a branch of the Yan Emperor's descendants who lived near the Qi River. Another theory suggests it comes from occupational surnames, such as 'lacquer craftsmen' during the Zhou Dynasty.
