Origin of the 车 Surname

"Che" (车) is derived from the following sources: 1. Based on an event to form a surname. According to "Yuanhe Xingzuan", during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Tian Qianqiu, the prime minister, was old and was allowed by the imperial edict to enter and leave the provincial government (the court) in a small car. At that time, he was known as the "Prime Minister Che". His descendants then took "Che" as their surname. Tian Qianqiu's son was Che Shun, who inherited the marquis title. 2. Changed from the surnames of northern ethnic minorities. According to "Weishu - Guanshizhi", during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Tuoba clan of the Xianbei ethnic group had a compound surname "Chefei". After entering the Central Plains, they all changed to the single - surname "Che". 3. As recorded in "Shiben", there was a clan named "Ziche" among the noble families of the Qin State, which is mentioned in the poem "Huangniao" in "The Book of Songs". Later, it was simplified to the surname "Che".
