Chinese Surname
Meaning: The surname 盖 (Gài) originates from the Spring and Autumn Period. It is derived from the place name 盖邑 (Gě Yì) in the State of Qi, where a senior official resided. Another theory suggests it comes from the姜 (Jiāng) clan, descendants of the legendary Yan Emperor. According to historical records, the surname has multiple branches, including those tracing back to the titles 盖侯 (Gài Hóu) or 盖大夫 (Gài Dàfū).
