Fēng ("wind" 風, simplified 风) is a Chinese surname of Fuxi (伏羲). Unlike the much more common Féng (冯, "gallop") surname which is pronounced with the second rising tone in Mandarin, "wind" is pronounced fēng.
In the third-century text Records of Emperors and Kings (帝王世纪), Huangfu Mi records the legend that goddess Nüwa enfeoffed thirteen tribes or states, all having the Feng surname.
