In reply to stranger. Yes, I do. My mother's last name is 揭. According to the family tree record, this last name is related to a place (jieyang揭阳) in Guangdong province. That place was granted to a general as his fief by the emperor in Han dynasty (about 2000 years ago). The emperor also changed the last name of the general to 揭.

I found this character in my Japanese etymological dictionary. It is a variant form of a similar character and means to hoist or raise up, make conspicuous. I don’t know how or if this meaning is also carried on to the surname. The Chinese (Mandarin) is pronounced jiē.
I could post a photo of the character and its variant and etymology if that facility existed, or happy to share if email is supplied.

Does any one know how to locate this character in the internet? I have tried many sources of chinese charaters with no luck.
