from the name of the kingdom of Ba, which existed in Sichuan during
the Zhou dynasty (1122–221 bc). Descendants of some of the
ruling class adopted the name of the kingdom as their surname. This
character still has as one of its meanings an ancient name for Sichuan

north to China several hundred years ago, many adopted the surname Ba.
