Andre Levy

Family Name: The surname 雷 (Léi) originates from ancient China, tracing back to the legendary Yellow Emperor's era. One theory suggests it derives from Leigong, a renowned physician and minister to the Yellow Emperor, whose descendants adopted his name as their surname. Another theory links it to the Zhou Dynasty, where a noble named Ji Lei passed down his name to his descendants. Additionally, the surname may have originated from the ancient office of 雷师 ('Lei Shi'), a position responsible for rituals related to thunder and rain, with descendants taking the title as their surname.
