Talk:Tan (surname)

Tan Hong Zhi
Why did you remove the reference to this man? He is prominent and he is of this clan.

BTW. Please insert the source(s) for your section about the origins of the surname. Is it In Search of Your Asian Roots: Genealogical Research on Chinese Surnames by Sheau-yueh J Chao, published by Clearfield Co, Baltimore 2000? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.55.158.187 (talk • contribs) 2007-03-19 21:25:09

陳
"Tan" is also 陈/陳, use by many chinese in SE Asia. In this case Tan is the pronounciation/spelling of 陈/陳 in Hokkien/TeoChew dialect. So when someone tell you he is Tan, do not assume right away that he is 谭/譚.Wiki Pokemon 20:50, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Someone needs to verify, but I believe the Chinese-American actress Lauren Tom should be included in the list of prominent people here. --38.117.185.138 (talk) 21:57, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Chinese name difference between chen and tan
Please do not add name without their traditional chinese name Please do not add name if you only know they romanized name

Many people use “tan” as first name even it is not chinese surename, example tan malaka (from sutan malaka, padang)

And also many overseas chinese has surename tan (chen) but not tan (諢) 111.95.122.217 (talk) 12:21, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
