Tcheng

Tcheng is a romanization of the Chinese surname Cheng (程 or 承 or 成 or 誠). The most common form, 程 (Chéng), is derived from the name of an ancient state during the Zhou Dynasty. The surname has a long and distinguished history in China, with various branches tracing their lineage back to different historical figures and regions. It is a common surname throughout China and among Chinese diaspora communities.

The character 誠 (Chéng) specifically means 'sincere' or 'honest' and is sometimes used as a given name or as part of a given name, though less commonly as a standalone surname in this romanization. The romanization 'Tcheng' itself is an older, less common transliteration, often found in historical documents or among Chinese communities that emigrated before the standardization of Pinyin.
