ArchivesMy last name
My last name is Cheng but they don't have it hear. my last names origin is comes out like this
"The 31st most common last name in China. In ancient China, Zhuan Xu, asked his two grandsons to be in charge of making sacrifices. The older brother, Chong, had the title of Nan Zheng and was in charge of making sacrifices to the heaven. The younger brother, Li, had the title of Huo Zheng and was in charge of the earthly matters. The two brothers brought peace and regulations to the people, so that they could concentrate on making a living on the farm. The descendents of Chong and Li, held on to the assignments for generations. During the Zhou Dynasty, the descendents of Chong was awarded the kingdom of Cheng (east of Le Yang in Henan Province), and they began to bear the last name Cheng."

I just checked and it has been added. Maybe yours will too, but I don't know. Anyway, the one I submitted was DiNapoli.
Although it is supposed to have a capilized N in it, and doesn't if you go to that particular surname.

This site deals with surname/family name meanings, not family history or origin legends. So only the last part of your explanation, that the surname Cheng comes from the name of a historical Chinese kingdom, is relevant.
As for adding names, I don't know how it's done, I've given up trying.

Yeah, I tried adding my mom's maiden name, and so far it hasn't shown up. I am hoping that it just needs to be checked, but I don't know.
