Translated from the Chinese article, which is the one that is edited (read it in Chinese).

Ni (倪) is one of the surnames of China. It comes from the state of Ni (郳) of the Spring and Autumn period.[1]

Origin of the surname[edit]

In the Spring and Autumn period, Duke Wu of Zhu (邾武公) enfeoffed his second son at Ni (郳, around today's Shanting District, Zaozhuang, Shandong), founding the state of Ni. The state of Ni was later destroyed by Chu, and its descendants took the state's name as their clan name, dropping the "city" radical to write it 兒, and later changing it to 倪.[1]

Coming to Taishan[edit]

How the Ni came to Taishan and where they live is yet to be added. Family members who know more are welcome to edit this article.
