The Hui have the most horse surnames, so there is a saying of "ten hui hui nine horses". The Ma surname mainly comes from the first sound of the ancestral name (jing name). For example, "The horse I teach is mostly a transliteration of Arab names." The first sound can be translated by horse characters. "'Horse' is a transliteration of the first syllable, which was originally a personal name," (Hui Chronicles. Ming Dynasty" later became a Chinese surname. This is also the evolution of "surname". Among Muslims, the most people take the honorable holy name Muhammad as the name of the scripture, and the holy name has been "translated by one person" in Chinese history (Mahmad, Mahmad, Mahma, Mahma, Mahmu, Maham, etc.), so there are many people with the surname Ma.
In addition, some sutra names with M heads, such as Moses, are also approaching "horses" when translating, such as translating them as "masha". The surname Ma, in addition to taking the first sound of the ancestral name (sutra name), there are many "horses" taken from the middle and back. For example, the descendants of Umar, Yismain, Jemarudin, and Murima hema take the "horse" in the middle, and the descendants of Ahma take the "horse" in the rear. In addition, even if there is no "horse" in the ancestral name (sutra name), it is also taken by the surname of Ma because of the harmonic relationship. For example, "Jiya Mo Bass, Zi Yuande, Mo Yin and Ma Tong, so the name Ma Yuande". ("The Theory of Muslim Nationalities") For example, the Qing Dynasty Ministry of Internal Affairs returned to MaSuha and changed its surname to Ma with the sound of "Ma".
Some of the Ma surnames in the Hui people have been changed to Ma surnames for various reasons. According to the Yunnan "Bao's Genealogy": "There are those who have escaped from the barbarians due to changes in the world. There are people who change their surname to Ma. "Also 'There are those who change their surname to horses because of their mothers.'" Another example is the "Genealogy" of the Xundian Ma clan: "The ancestor's surname is Na, and he is from Nanjing Yingtianfu ... To the second ancestor, he searched for Dian and lived in the beginning of the year of Ming Hongzhi. Changed his surname to Ma. During the reign of Ming Chengzu Yongle, Sai Hazhi (the seventh grandson of Sai Dianchi), a general of Wude, Xianning Hou, and hereditary Jinyi Wei commander," later resigned and lived in seclusion in western Yunnan and changed his surname to Ma. (The Great Dictionary of the Chinese Hui Nationality) In "Before 1949, there was an Arab who was working as a guide for Chinese pilgrims, named 'Acting Li', came to Qinghai to do business, married a Huimin woman in Xining, had a son and two daughters, because the Hui people were mostly ma surnames, and the rulers of Qinghai at that time were also surnamed Ma, so they gave their children the surname of Ma... His children still live in Xining. These "same surname and different sects" of ma surnames have greatly enriched the source of Hui ma surnames.
Among the Hui ma surnames, the Ma surnames of some fraternal ethnic groups are also incorporated. For example, the great-grandson of Ma Qingxiang (formerly known as Xi Lijisi), a Uyghur who was the chief judge of the Terracotta Army at Fengxiangfu Road (now part of shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region) in the Jin Dynasty, "MaZu often settled in the early Yuan Dynasty and was buried in Xiaonanhai, Huangchuan County, and his descendants became Hui, and Mr. Ma Mingyuan (74 years old) of present-day Huangchuan County is the twenty-seventh grandson of Ma Zuchang, who said that the Ma family had been married to the Hui Chen surname for generations, and believed that the Ma family had been Hui very early, which is another example of the integration of the Uyghurs in Henan into the Hui. (The Chinese Hui. Henan Hui")
A considerable number of Ma surnames in the Hui are also given surnames. For example, in the first year of Ming Hongwu's reign (1368), Madludin, a native of the Western Regions of Lumi (present-day Istanbul), was hired by Taizu to enter China and was appointed as the Hui HuiSi Tianjian Supervisor, "The two sons also served with their fathers in the prison. Kick the horse again, and seal back the master." "Chinese Muslim Astronomers Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties") is also "Ding Yide, The Western Regions Returned, Taizu Hongwuzhong entered Beijing, because of his surname Ma, the name Xin". (Huihui History and Islamic Culture) In the first year of Emperor Yingzong's reign (1457), Ma Hei Ma, the son of The Western Hui Hui Yi, was the governor of the capital, "Giving the surname Ma and the name of the government." "Back to History and Islamic Culture") Wa thorn back to Pirma Black Hemp, "Shangzhi Pirma Black Hemp is called 'Mark Shun'. ("Hui History and Islamic Culture") According to the "Genealogy of the Huaining Ma Clan. Zhi Shang Gong Mu Yan (志尚公牟言) reads: "The Wu clan is from the Western Regions of Lumu. The ancestors were written in the Lumu script, and the Chinese translation of Ma Yizegong was given the surname of Ma. Song Taizu Jianji, the first summons to repair the calendar, the Gongjing calendar, the second year of Jianlong, was called to China to study astronomy. "In China, the Huaining Ma clan has a long history, a wide distribution, has become a big family, its descendants through the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing dynasty, talent generations," has been passed down to forty generations, the population throughout the country provinces and Hong Kong and Taiwan regions, overseas American, Japanese, New Zealand, Belgian countries also have ethnic groups, one of the important families of the Chinese Hui.
