Definition
梁 is a common Chinese surname and also refers to several historical entities: the State of Liang (originally Wei, renamed in 361 BC, lasting until 255 BC), the Liang dynasty (502–577, one of the Southern dynasties), and the Later Liang dynasty (907–923, one of the Five Dynasties). Context determines which meaning is intended, but all are proper nouns and appear mainly in historical or genealogical discussions.
