Family Name: The surname 贺 originates from the Ji clan of the Qi State during the Spring and Autumn Period. It is derived from the name of a fief granted to Qin Feng, a noble of the Ji family, whose descendants adopted the surname 庆 ('Qìng', meaning 'celebration'). In the Eastern Han Dynasty, to avoid the taboo of Emperor An's father's name Liu Qing, the clan changed their surname from 庆 to the homophone 贺.
Given Name: Aspire to wisdom and enlightenment, embodying noble virtues.
