Family Name: The surname 德 (Dé) means 'virtue' or 'moral character'. It is a relatively rare surname, with origins tracing back to the Spring and Autumn period. One legend states that it originated from Ji Wenzi, a virtuous minister of the State of Lu, whose descendants adopted the character 德 as their surname. Another theory suggests that 德 is an ancient surname from the Western Regions, possibly of non-Han origin.
