Chinese Surname
Meaning: The surname 黎 (Lí) originates from the ancient state of Li, located in present-day Licheng County, Shanxi Province. According to historical records, during the Shang Dynasty, King Wu Ding of Shang granted the land of Li to his son, who established the state of Li. The descendants of this state adopted the name of the state as their surname, forming the Li clan. Another theory suggests that the Li surname traces back to the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, taking the name of the state as their surname.
