Ji is the
pinyin romanization of a number of distinct
Chinese surnames that are written with different
characters in Chinese. Depending on the character, it may be spelled Jī, Jí, Jǐ, or Jì when
tonediacritics are used. In
Wade–Giles they are romanized as Chi. Languages using the
Latin alphabet do not distinguish among the different Chinese surnames, rendering them all as Ji or Chi. They may not be confused with the Chinese surname
Chi (池);[1] e.g. family name of
Wuhan author
Chi Li.
