Family Tuteng for 翁

[petery]

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone know what my family Tuteng is?  I have been searching online and couldn't find one.  Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks!

Your name is not one of top 100 Chinese names. Maybe Philip Tan (philiptancl) can help you.

Hi Petery,

Lachinatown is correct. Your surname is outside that of 100 most numerous. I only have most of the surname books within the 100 most numerous.

Petery,

This is interesting. There are always more names in China than the 100 most common, being such a large country with a huge population and a long history. I am sure you have done your internet search and are finding that most things are in Chinese, and Google translate leaves much to be desired when translating Chinese into English.

Consider this LDS site: chailibrary.com/tuteng-chinese-family-totem-family-crest-or-coat-of-arms/

the most important instructions: you can enter the Chinese surname character plus 姓图腾 (meaning: “tuteng of … family”) in the search box of any search engine.

Have someone at the library or LDS Family Research Center help you look at the results.
