It is spoken in the first tone: Zhāng. It is a surname that exists in many languages and cultures, corresponding to the surname 'Archer' in English for example.[1] Chang is the Wade-Giles romanization; Cheung is commonly used in Hong Kong as romanization. It is also the pinyin romanization of the less-common surnames {{linktext|章}} (Zhāng) and {{linktext|仉}} (Zhǎng). {{lang|zh|張}} was listed 24th in the famous Song-era Hundred Family Surnames. Today, it is one of the most common surnames in the world at over 100 million people worldwide.[2] {{lang|zh|张}} was listed by the People's Republic of China's National Citizen ID Information System as the third-most-common surname in mainland China in April 2007, with 87.50 million bearers.[3][4] A commonly cited but erroneous factoid in the 1990 Guinness Book of Records listed it as the world's most common surname,[5] but no comprehensive information from China was available at the time and more recent editions have not repeated the claim.Romanization{{lang|zh|張}} ({{lang|zh|张}}) and {{lang|zh|章}} are also commonly romanized as Chang in Taiwan and among the Chinese diaspora using the older Wade-Giles system. Both are also romanized as Cheung in Hong Kong; Cheong in Macao and Malaysia; Teo and Teoh in Teochew; Chong and Cheong in Hakka; Tsan and Tsaon among Wu Chinese varieties like Shanghainese;{{Citation needed|date=March 2012}} Cheong in Gan; and Tiong in East Malaysia and the Philippines; and Tjong, Sutiono or Thiono in Indonesia.{{lang|zh|張}} was the Chữ Nôm form of the Vietnamese surname Trương. The Hanja of the Korean surname romanized Jang and Chang ({{lang|ko|{{linktext|장}}}}). It remains the Kanji for the Japanese surname romanized Chō.In Vietnamese, the surname written {{lang|zh|章}} in Chữ Nôm is clearly distinguished and written as Trang or Chương.{{citation needed|date=April 2012}} DistributionAs mentioned above, {{lang|zh|张}} is the third-most-common surname in mainland China, making up 6.83% of the population of the People's Republic of China.[6] On Taiwan, {{lang|zh|張}} is the fourth-most-common surname, making up 5.26% of the population of the Republic of China.[7] 章 was unlisted among the top 100 in either location. Among the Chinese diaspora, the name remains common but takes on various romanizations. "Chong" is the 19th-most-common surname among Chinese Singaporeans;[8] "Chang" is the 6th-most-common surname among Chinese Americans; and "Zhang" was the 7th-most-common particularly Chinese surname (i.e., excluding ethnically diverse surnames such as "Lee") found in a 2010 survey of Ontario's Registered Persons Database of Canadian health card recipients.[9] HistoryCharacters{{lang|zh|張}} combines the Chinese characters {{lang|zh|{{linktext|弓}}}} (gōng, "bow") and {{lang|zh|{{linktext|長}}}} (simp. {{lang|zh|{{linktext|长}}}}, cháng, "long" or "wide"). It originally meant "to open up" or "to spread" as an arching bow, but as a common noun in modern use it is a measure word for flat objects such as paper and cloth, like the English "sheet of".{{lang|zh|章}} combines the characters {{lang|zh|{{linktext|音}}}} (yin, "sound", "(musical) note") and {{lang|zh|{{linktext|十}}}} (shi, "ten"). It originally meant "brilliant", "to display", "a distinctive mark"[10] and was used as the name of a fief, but as a common noun in modern use it means an "article" in a newspaper or magazine or a "chapter" in a book or law.FamiliesThe traditional origin of the surname {{lang|zh|張}} (Old Chinese: *C. traŋ[11]) is rooted in Chinese legend. The fifth son of the Yellow Emperor, Qing Yangshi ({{lang|zh|{{linktext|青|陽|氏/青|阳|氏}}}}, Qīng Yángshì), had a son Hui ({{lang|zh|{{linktext|揮/挥}}}}, Huī) who was inspired by the Heavenly Bow constellation ({{lang|zh|{{linktext|天弓星}}}}, Tiān Gōng Xīng) to invent the bow and arrow. Hui was then promoted to "First Bow" ({{lang|zh|{{linktext|弓|正}}}}, Gōng Zhèng) and bestowed the surname {{lang|zh|張}}, which{{spaced ndash}}when broken into its constituent radicals{{spaced ndash}}means "widening bow" or "archer". Its Middle Chinese pronunciation has been reconstructed as Trjang.[11] The surname {{lang|zh|章}} (Old Chinese: *taŋ[10]) originated from the legendary Yan Emperor, whose personal surname was Jiang ({{lang|zh|{{linktext|姜}}}}). On the establishment of the state of Qi, Jiang Ziya apportioned the land among his many descendants, including a one known as Zhang ({{lang|zh|鄣国}}). Some of the people of this state took {{lang|zh|章}} as their surname, particularly after it was annexed by Qi.{{Citation needed|date=March 2012}} The Middle Chinese pronunciation of the name was Tsyang, the beginnings of what we now know to be the "Zhang" surname.[10] List of persons with the surname{{lang|zh|張}} / {{lang|zh|张}}{{hatnote|Note: people generally romanized as "Chang" are listed in the "Chang" article; people generally romanized as "Cheung" are listed in the "Cheung" article; people generally romanized as "Teo" or "Teoh" are listed in the "Teoh" article; people generally romanized as "Jang" are listed in the "Jang" article; and people with the family name "Trương" are listed in the "Trương" article}}.
