The source explicitly lists Li (荔, lì) as a currently rare surname within a Chinese surname reference; it does not assign all bearers to a single ethnic group.
The page also lists it as a Western Xia surname, but supplies no specific textual basis or explanation of its relationship to the other origin theories; this remains unverified.
This secondary compilation says that the surname is included in the clan sections of Xu Tongzhi and Qing Tongzhi and relays an account from Xingshi Kaolue; the original works have not been independently verified here.
The secondary compilation records Li Maoxian in the Song period and Li Jun, an instructor in Chunhua County, in the Qing period, and says that people surnamed Li lived in Shangcheng, Henan, during the Ming period. These notices do not establish a shared lineage.
Start with ancestral counties, villages, personal names and dates. Record genealogy titles, volumes, editions and catalog identifiers. A shared surname does not prove a shared lineage; compare branch records.
