Family Name: The surname 利 ('Lì') signifies 'benefit' or 'advantage'. Its origins are diverse, including derivations from the姬 ('Jī') clan during the Spring and Autumn period, where descendants of Laozi (Li Er) adopted the surname. Another theory posits that 利 originates from the 芈 ('Mǐ') clan, named after the fiefdom of a大夫 ('Dàifu', a high-ranking official) in the State of Chu. Additionally, some 利 surnames trace back to the official title 利氏官 ('Lìshì Guān') in the Zhou Dynasty, or result from surname changes among minority ethnic groups.
