Yíng (Chinese: 嬴) is a Chinese surname. It is the royal house name of the early Qin, and Qin Dynasty. Yíng Zheng is the first emperor of the unified Chinese empire.
The Zhao family is one such kind of clan belonging to the Yíng tribe. There are 14 clan names in China derived from the same ancestral name Yíng, they are the famous members of the Yíng group which are from the Zhao family.
It was one of the "Eight Great Xings of High Antiquity" (上古八大姓), along with Jī (姬), Yáo (姚), Sì (姒), Yún (妘), Gui (媯) and Rèn (妊), though some sources quote Jí (姞) as the last one instead of Rèn.

The origin of Yíng family[edit]
Shaohao had a child Gaoyao, (皋陶). Gaoyao had a child, Boyi (伯益). Boyi (伯益) was in charge of flood control and got the surname Yíng (嬴), in the early Xia Dynasty. Yu the Great granted state of Dengfeng to the son of Boyi (伯益). This became the State of Yíng (英). Other children of Boyi (伯益) became the feudal lord of Liu (state) (六), and Xu (Chinese state) (許), by order of Yu the Great. Later, the Yíng (赢) tribe was founded in the state of Yíng (英), and the Liu (六) in, Xu (許) in Henan. [3]>
The Yíng tribe were powerful feudal lords at the end of the Shang Dynasty period. Feilian (蜚廉) of the Yíng (皋) family was the General and feudal lord under King Zhou of Shang. After the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the Yíng tribe moved to Shanxi and Gansu. [4]
The Yíng (皋) family's, Feizi (非子, Biza) received Qin County (秦邑) in Shanxi from King Xiao of Zhou, thereby beginning the Qin Dynasty lineage.
The Bai people, of the old Chinese Yíng, the Xu people, the Qiang people, and some nomad tribes were found in the area of the Qin (state). Also, in the Qin (state), at the time of Duke Mu of Qin, the Xirong people joined the Qin (state), by way of service in/with the army of Qin (state). The Yíng royal family of Qin (state) got various surnames from many surname of their Citizens.
From the time of Duke Zhuang of Qin, Longxi County in Gansu and the surrounding territory was part of the Qin (state). It merged into the territory of the Xiongnu, after the fall of the Qin Dynasty; although citizens of the Yíng family remained in Longxi of Gansu.
