Family Name: The surname 倪 (Ní) originates from the ancient state of Zhu during the Spring and Autumn Period. After the state of Zhu was annexed by the state of Chu, a branch of the royal family changed their surname from 邾 (Zhū) to 倪 (Ní), as the state was temporarily renamed as Ní during that period. Thus, the surname 倪 is closely linked to the historical events of the ancient states of Zhu and Ní.
Given Name: A person of virtue and talent, blessed with auspiciousness and good fortune.
