Li (李) is the second most common surname in China, shared by over 100 million people worldwide, and translates literally to "plum". Meaning and Origin Literal Meaning: The character 李 combines the radicals for "tree/wood" (木) and "child/son" (子).Legendary Roots: Tradition traces the name back to Gao Yao, a legendary Minister of Justice (Dali, 大理) during the Xia dynasty. His descendants initially used 理 (meaning "reason" or "law") as a surname. The Plum Shift: During the late Shang dynasty, descendant Li Zhen fled persecution and survived by eating wild plums (li, 李). To honor this survival and because the words sounded alike, the family changed their surname from 理 to 李.Historical Figures and Variations First Historical Figure: The philosopher Laozi (born Li Er, founder of Taoism) is widely considered a foundational ancestor of the surname. Common Spelling Variations: Depending on regional dialects and diaspora communities, the Chinese character 李 is frequently romanized as Lee (common in Cantonese and English contexts), Lei or Lai (Cantonese for other characters like 黎), Lie (Indonesian spelling), or Lý (Vietnamese spelling).
