Fèng (surname)

Fèng (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; lit. 'phoenix') is a relatively common Chinese surname. It is the 54th name on the Hundred Family Surnames poem.[1] It has the same radical-frame with, and therefore appears similar to, a less common surname Feng ("wind" 風, simplified with a flat first tone), but "phoenix" is pronounced with a falling fourth tone fèng.
