Chui is a surname.
Origins
Chui is a spelling of the Cantonese pronunciation of two Chinese surnames, listed below by their Pinyin transcription (which reflects the Mandarin pronunciation):[1][2]
- Cuī (Шаблон:Wikt-lang), which originated as a toponymic surname from a fief by that name in the state of Qi; a grandson of Jiang Ziya renounced his claim to the throne and went to live in that fief, and his descendants took its name as their surname.[3] (Cantonese pronunciation – Шаблон:Zh)
- Xú (Шаблон:Wikt-lang), which originated as a toponymic surname from the ancient state of Xu, adopted by the descendants of Boyi after the state was annexed by the state of Chu.[4] (Cantonese pronunciation – Шаблон:Zh).
