Zhèng

郑 (Zhèng) is the Chinese way to say the common family name Zheng.

郑 is a common Chinese surname. Note that the character 正 is a different term used in formal contexts to signify correctness, accuracy or being right.

How do you pronounce it?

Zhèng

In mainland China the name is spelled Zheng but in Taiwan and Hong Kong it is often spelled Cheng because of different romanization systems.
While many Chinese surnames have ancient origins in single characters, the surname 郑 is tied to the historical 'State of Zheng', a powerful polity during the Spring and Autumn period.
The simplified form 郑 was created by replacing the complex components of the traditional character 鄭 with a much simpler structure involving the element for 'gate' or 'barrier'.
