Chinese: Mandarin form of the surname 曾 meaning ‘high’ or ‘add’ in ancient Chinese: from Zeng (鄫) an ancient state (located in present-day Cangshan in Shandong province) granted to Qu Lie son of the emperor Shao Kang (reigned 1940–1880 BC ) in the Xia dynasty (2070–1600 BC ). The state was annexed by the state of Ju (located mainly in present-day Shandong province) in 567 BC .
