Tunggiya is a Manchu and Sibe clan and surname. It is often recorded as one of the Eight Great Manchu Clans in different Qing dynasty documents. According to the Complete Genealogies of the Manchu Clans and Families of the Eight Banners (八旗滿洲氏族通譜), the clan name originated from Tunggiya River, although some sources trace its ancestry to the Giagu (夹古) clan of the Jurchen Jin dynasty. The earliest known ancestor was Bahū Teksin (巴虎特克慎) of Maca area, who lived approximately in the transitioning era between Yuan and Ming dynasty. His descendants spread across other Manchurian regions such as Yarhu, Jaha, Tunggiya, Fola, Jakumu, Hada, and Samjan. By the late Ming period the clan had grown into numerous branches. After joining Nurhaci's service, its clansmen were incorporated into the Eight Banners socio-military system. During the Qing dynasty, the Tunggiya clan became one of the empire's most influential aristocratic families, earning the nickname Tong Banchao (佟半朝, "Half the Court Officials are the Tongs/Tunggiya"). Through its military achievements, high-ranking officials, and especially its close ties to the imperial family, it played a major role in Qing politics for generations from the beginning to the end. After the fall of the Qing dynasty, most descendants adopted the Sino surname Tong (佟), while others used surnames such as Tong (仝), Tong (同), Tong (童), Dong (董), Gao (高), Zhao (趙), Yu (俞), and Hui (惠).
