【Meaning】
The character Wen (温) consists of the "Water" (水) radical and the phonetic component "Wen" (昷 - meaning warm/sun over a vessel). The name originates from the ancient Land of Wen, which was named after its famous hot springs (thermal waters). The location of this ancestral land is in present-day Wen County, Henan Province. Symbolically, it represents warmth, kindness, and the life-giving nature of water.
【Origins】
From the Ji (姬) Surname (Descendants of the Yellow Emperor): The Wen surname originates from the lineage of the Yellow Emperor and is derived from the name of an ancient state. The distant ancestor is the Yellow Emperor, the immediate ancestor is Zhuanxu, and the primary founding ancestor is Ji Ping (also known as Wen Ping).
The State of Su and Wen: Fensheng, a descendant of Kunwu (the eldest son of Lu Zhong), served as the Sikou (Minister of Justice) during the early Western Zhou. He was enfeoffed to establish the State of Su, with its capital at Wen (present-day Wen County, Henan). Consequently, the State of Su was also referred to as the State of Wen.
Adoption of the Surname: In 650 BC, the State of Wen was annexed by the Di ethnic group. The monarch, known as Wen Zi (Lord of Wen), fled to the State of Wei. His descendants subsequently adopted the name of their fallen country, Wen, as their family name.

【釋義】
「溫」字從水,昷聲。古地名「溫」因境內擁有溫泉而得名,其遺址位於今河南溫縣。在文化意涵中,「溫」象徵著溫和、敦厚以及如泉水般源源不絕的生命力。
【起源】

蘇國與溫國: 陸終長子昆吾的裔孫忿生,在西周初年擔任司寇之職,受封建立「蘇國」,建都於「溫」(今河南溫縣),因此蘇國亦被稱為「溫國」。
亡國以國為氏: 公元前650年,溫國被狄人所滅,國君「溫子」逃往衛國。其後裔子孫為了紀念故土,便以國名「溫」為姓氏,世代相傳。
