By the way do you know that there is an Yee Clan Association? The Yee means my surname 余 which means if converted to English it is Ee Clan Association.

My ah gong is a member and gosh, it is such a cool association. 2009 is their 81st anniversary. I am proud of my surname:D:D

I googled it and found some info about it on the web. :

First found in the Spring and Autumn Period of China, the Chancellor of Qin known as Yao Yu, Yu is a typical name in the southern area of China. The place of origin of this name is likely to be in Feng Xiang (é³³ç¿"), Shaanxi to the area of Xian Yang (å'¸é™½). It is first said to appear in the Han Dynasty. The Yu people moved into the county of Xi (歙縣), Anhui. After that, the surname has spread quite well in the south China, but much weaker in the northern China. Many of the them moved to southern China, into counties like Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Jiangxi. In the time of Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Yu people have already became a tribe in the prefecture of Xin An (新安郡), Luoyang. Because of the war in the north at that time, people moved to the south, in places like Hunan and Hubei.It was after Tang Dynasty, when the surname finally became popular, and is very famous in the southeast area of China. At this moment, people moved into other places like Fujian and Guangdong. In the later part of the Tang Dynasty, Yu in the northern part became popular too.
