About
邓 is a common Chinese surname and the name of an ancient state. The traditional form 鄧 is a phono-semantic compound: the radical 阝 (meaning 'city' or 'settlement') on the right provides the semantic category, while the left-side component 登 gives the pronunciation. In simplification, the complex 登 is replaced by the simpler component 又. This change substantially reduces the stroke count, but the city radical is retained, marking the character as a place or family name.
