Chang, which is also sometimes transliterated as Zhang, is one of the most common names in the Chinese-speaking world. In fact, it was listed in the 1990 Guiness Book of World Records as the most common surname in the world. The word has multiple possible meanings, including longbow, constant, mountain, and open. Chang family history and Chang genealogy may go back millennia, though the origins are legendary.
