Mié / Mieh
The source explicitly lists “咪” as a surname and records the readings mī and mí. It says that the mī entry was included by the Dictionary of Chinese Surnames on the basis of a newspaper report; this is a secondary citation and does not constitute verification of the original report.
The source describes “咪,” read mié, as a current Dai “surname,” distributed in Menglian, Yunnan, and says it means “being a mother.” This is the source’s account of a Dai naming system and should not be equated directly with the Han Chinese surname system.
The source records that after a married Dai woman has a child, her name changes: the first element is “咪”; the second is “岩” when the first child is a boy, or “叶/月” when the first child is a girl; the third is the child’s name. The resulting forms are “咪叶(月)×” or “咪岩×,” meaning “the mother of eldest son/daughter ×.”
The source’s summary says the origin is unknown and records the surname in Ningdu, Jiangxi; it also states that “咪” is equivalent to “咩,” citing the Pianhai. The page provides no information on the Ningdu branch’s formation, migration, historical figures, commanderies or halls, or genealogy generation names.
The source explicitly says that some people analyzed and identified “咪叶×,” “咪岩×,” and “咪月×” as surnames beginning with “咪” by applying Han Chinese naming conventions. This is an interpretive classification and does not justify treating all such name structures as Han-style surnames.
