	Chinese family name
		A Chinese family name/clan name/surname (姓 in pinyin: xìng4) refers to one of the over seven hundreds of family names used by Han Chinese and Sinicized Chinese ethnic groups and is part of a Chinese name.
		Chinese family names are passed from the father, and there is generally a taboo against marriage between persons of the same surname.
		There are family names with three or more characters, but those are extremely rare and most likely have non-Han origin, for example, Aixinjueluo (愛新覺羅, also romanized as Aisin-gioro), the family name of the Manchu royal family of the Qing dynasty.
