In Reply to: Any history of the surname Ta-Min? posted by Pat Ta-Min on May 25, 19100 at 10:37:16:
Hi Pat,
I believe that the name "Ta-Min" was originally a 3-part Hakka Chinese name. When people emigrated elsewhere, it was shortened to something more pronouncable, thus the name "Ta-Min".
: Dear Anyone,
: Is there anybody out there that can give me any history or information whatsoever on the surname:
: Ta-Min.
: This can include links to any relations in the rest of the world, regional relationships to China and origins of the name.
: All that I have been told by the family is that we are part of the Hakka people of China. I believe that this is the Chinese name for the modern Cantonese people.
: You can send me an e-mail to: [email protected]
