Surname
Origins and statistics
As a surname, Chien is the Wade–Giles romanisation of a number of surnames spelled Jian in Hanyu Pinyin, as well as a variant spelling of surnames spelled Qian in Pinyin (Ch'ien in Wade Giles):[1][2]
- Jiǎn (Шаблон:Zh), adopted as a surname by some descendants of Шаблон:Ill, who was later named Xu Jianpo (Шаблон:Lang).
- Jiǎn (Шаблон:Zh), which originated as an occupational surname from Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Lang), a Han dynasty post which could be translated as "Inspector General". Additionally some bearers of this surname changed their surname to the Jiǎn described above, which is homophonous in Mandarin Chinese, though not in other varieties of Chinese.
- Qián (Шаблон:Zh), literally meaning "money", also originated as an occupational surname, said to have been adopted by a holder of the post of treasurer (Шаблон:Zh) during the Zhou Dynasty.
- Qiān (Шаблон:Zh)
