Fèng[1] (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; literally: "phoenix") is a relatively common Chinese surname. It is No.54 in the old Song Dynasty Baijiaxing.[2] It has the same radical-frame with, and therefore appears similar to, a less common surname Feng ("wind" 風, simplified with a flat fist tone), but "phoenix" is pronounced with a falling fourth tone fèng.
