Zheng is Chinese in Origin.
Zheng is a Mandarin Chinese name written 郑 (simplified) or 鄭 (traditional), pronounced Zhèng. As a surname, it traces to the Zhou-era State of Zheng, and bearers took the state name as their clan name; it remains a common surname in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Chinese diaspora. As a given name, Zheng is unisex and may stand alone or appear in compounds (e.g., Zhenghao, Zhengyi), depending on the chosen character.
Romanization varies by system and dialect: Pinyin Zheng; Wade–Giles Cheng; Hong Kong/Cantonese often Cheng (Jyutping zeng6 also appears); Taiwanese systems include Jheng and Tzeng; Hokkien/Teochew families frequently use Teh or Tay. Meanings depend on the character: 正 “upright; correct; just,” 政 “governance,” 祯/禎 “auspicious omen,” and 铮/錚 “sonorous; steadfast” are common choices. This blend of moral rectitude, good fortune, and resolve makes Zheng a concise, resonant choice.
