surname 能


edelweis

Recommended Posts

Apparently 能 as a surname can be pronounced either neng2 (mdbg) or nai4 (a children's 百家姓 audio track).

Is there any kind of rule or geographic repartition?

Do you know / know of anyone with this surname, and what is the pronunciation?

Baidu lists one contemporary 能 (nai4) person.
 
能开元,1966年出生,湖北宜昌长阳人。煤炭工业工人。 能开元自学了《煤炭地质学》,提高了采掘技术,于1997年荣获长阳县、宜昌市劳动模范称号,1998年获湖北省劳动模范的光荣称号。
 
Edit: also, a few characters from MDBG with 能 as a phonetic component.
螚 nài
熋 nái
褦 nài
and/but
態/态 tài

 

Edit: submitted change to MDBG.
