Some more uncommon surnames with romanizations that are also conventionally simplified to "Fang" in English are Fáng (房), meaning "room", and Fāng (芳), meaning "fragrant".
During Emperor Huang Di's reign, a descendant called Yu Lei was awarded the land of Fang (north west of Nanyu) for his contributions in defeating a foreign tribe. He was thus known as Fang Lei, and his descendants were given the family name Fang.[2]
Ji Yuan is considered as another forefather of the Fangs. Ji was a general of Zhou Xuan Wang, and was known for his contributions in conquering the north and the south. Since his nickname was Fang Shu, the king awarded him the family name of Fang.[3]
