The 盘 surname
Translated from the Chinese article, which is the one that is edited (read it in Chinese).
Pan (盘) is a relatively rare Chinese surname, not among the Hundred Family Surnames (《百家姓》).[1]
Origin of the surname[edit]
According to oral tradition among its members, the Pan surname comes from Pangu (盘古氏). Today the Pan surname is found scattered in Guangxi, northern Guangdong, Henan, Taiwan and elsewhere.[1]
Coming to Taishan[edit]
The Wikipedia article “Pan (surname)” says that people surnamed Pan once lived in Beikeng Village (北坑村), Taishan, but gives no source.[1]
How the Pan came to Taishan and where they live is yet to be added. Family members who know more are welcome to edit this article.
