==== Surnames ====

Hui people commonly believe that their surnames originated as "Sinified" forms of their foreign Muslim ancestors some time during the Yuan or Ming eras.{{sfn|Gladney|1996|p=250}} Common Hui surnames:<ref name="Susan Debra Blum, Lionel M.

A [[Ningxia]] legend states that four common Hui surnames—Na, [[Su (surname)|Su]], La, and [[Ding (surname)|Ding]]—originate with the descendants of [[Nasr al-Din (Yunnan)|Nasruddin]], a son of [[Sayyid Ajjal Shams al-Din Omar]], who "divided" the ancestor's name (''Nasulading'', in Chinese) among themselves.{{sfn|Dillon|1999|p=22}}
