Family Name: The surname 林 originates from the Chinese character meaning 'forest' or 'grove,' symbolizing abundance and vitality. It primarily traces back to two lineages: one stems from the descendants of Bi Gan, a virtuous minister of the Shang Dynasty, who was killed by King Zhou. His son Jian fled to Changlin (present-day Weihui, Henan) and was granted the surname 林 by King Wu of Zhou. The other lineage comes from the descendants of Lin Kai, an illegitimate son of King Ping of Zhou, who lived in Linlu (present-day Linxian, Henan) and adopted the surname 林.
Given Name: Both 'Jun' and 'Jin' refer to beautiful jade, symbolizing noble character and outstanding talent, as precious and flawless as jade.
