麒姓是中国姓氏之一,读音为qí,现行较罕见,见于今山西太原、长治等地[1]。其得姓之源,旧说有出自艺名者,未见确切记载[1]。麒字本指传说中麒麟的雄性,古籍也把麒作姓看待[2]。

起源[edit]

麒姓的来源,古今姓氏书没有确切交代。《新编千家姓》收录此姓,《山西人口姓氏大全》也收载,却都没有说明它从何而来[1]。一种说法见《中国姓氏大全》:京剧演员周信芳幼年学艺,登台时取艺名「七龄童」,成名后谐音改为「麒麟童」,后世遂有以麒为姓者[1]。此说在原书本是推测之词,辑录者亦只称存疑,不足为定论[1]。

就字义而言,麒是形声字,从鹿、其声,本义是传说中的仁兽麒麟,雄性称麒、雌性称麟[2]。《说文解字》记其形貌为麋身、牛尾、一角[2]。旧时字书在释义之外,也列「姓」一义,可知以麒为姓的说法早已见于辞书[2]。

迁徙与分布[edit]

麒姓人口稀少,分布不成片。《山西人口姓氏大全》所收的麒姓,集中在今山西太原、长治一带,是这一姓氏见于著录的主要去处[1]。
