Chinese family names are passed from the father, and there is generally a taboo against marriage between persons of the same surname.
As with the concentration of family names, this can also be explained statistically, as a person with an uncommon name could move to an unsettled area and leave this family name to large numbers of people.
It is common for the same surname to be transliterated differently and for different family names with similar pronounciations to be transliterated identically.
