Шаблон:About Шаблон:Infobox surname

Chao is a surname in various cultures. It is the Pinyin spelling of two Chinese surnames (Шаблон:Linktext and Шаблон:Linktext), the Wade–Giles spelling of two others (Шаблон:Linktext or the much rarer Шаблон:Linktext, both spelled in Pinyin as Zhào), and a regional or other spelling of two additional Chinese surnames (Шаблон:Linktext Cáo and Шаблон:Linktext Zhōu). It is also a Galician and Portuguese surname.

Origins

Chinese surname Cháo (Шаблон:Lang)

Шаблон:Main

This surname is written with a character meaning "dawn" (Шаблон:Linktext). According to traditional sources including Fengsu Tongyi, Yuanhe Xingzuan, Xingshi Kaolüe (Шаблон:Lang), and the surnames/clans section (Шаблон:Lang) of the Tongzhi encyclopedia, both this surname and another written with a character also meaning "dawn" (Шаблон:Zh) originated from personal names of people during the Spring and Autumn period, and were adopted by their descendants as surnames, following which some descendants changed their surname from one character to the other. The latter surname originated from Шаблон:Ill, a son of King Jing of Zhou (544–519 BC), while the former originated from Shi Chao (Шаблон:Lang) of the state of Wei.[1] The biography of Chao Cuo in the Records of the Grand Historian stated that the surname originated in the Nanyang Commandery, specifically in the ancient region of Xi'e.

In Sino-Korean pronunciation, those characters are both read Jo, but are not used as surnames in modern Korea (the Korean surname Jo is written with different characters).[2] In Sino-Vietnamese pronunciation, it is read Triều; the spelling is distinct from Triệu, the Sino-Vietnamese reading of the surname Zhào (趙/赵).[3][4]

It is listed on the Hundred Family Surnames poem.

Chinese surname Cháo (Шаблон:Lang)

Шаблон:Main

Another Chinese surname, homophonous with the above in Mandarin, is written with a character meaning "nest" (Шаблон:Linktext). Traditional sources note two different origins for this surname. The Шаблон:Transl (Шаблон:Lang) states that it refers to the legendary Youchao, who purportedly lived in a nest high up in a tree before he invented houses; his name literally means "having a nest". The Шаблон:Transl (Шаблон:Lang) states that it originated as a toponymic surname referring to the state of Chao; following the defeat of the state of Chao by the state of Wu during the latter part of the Spring and Autumn period, some of the people of the defeated state adopted Chao as their surname.[5]

In Sino-Korean pronunciation, this character is read So, but it is not used as a surname in modern Korea (the Korean surname So is written with different characters).[2] In Sino-Vietnamese pronunciation, it is read Sào.[6]
