Chen Family History

Chen Genealogy & Family Tree

Chen is a Chinese name, where the family descended from the Emperor Shun, who had a state—Chen—named in his honor. The Chen Dynasty was the last of the Southern dynasties. Alternately, it may come from a Hebrew word meaning “loveliness” and “grace.” It is the 5th most common name in China, the 2nd most common in Vietnam, and the 30th most common in Israel. Roots for the name can also be found in Japan and Korea.

Other spellings include “Chan,” “Chun,” “Tan,” “Tran,” “Gin,” “Zen,” “Jin,” “Sae-Tang,” “Sae-Chen,” “Sae-Chin,” and “Sae-Tan.” Notable people with the same surname include Chinese actress Joan Chen (The Last Emperor, Lust, Caution, Judge Dredd), Canadian actor Terry Chen (I, Robot, The A-Team, The Chronicles of Riddick), and Chinese Olympic athlete Chen Ding (racewalking).
