Surname Origin
Origin of the "Ben" surname: There are two branches of the Ben clan. One is pronounced (bēn), and the other is pronounced (féi). According to "Yuanhe Xingzuan", the Ben (bēn) clan is descended from Xian Benfu, a figure in the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn period, and they adopted their clan name from their ancestor's given name. Another theory suggests that they are the descendants of Miao Benfu, a high - ranking official in the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn period. The origin of this branch is different from that of the Ben (féi) clan.
