Dil (屌) is a not as highly recognised surname such as Li and Chen. Many people in China who have this surname have decided to change their name as this name is linked to Chinese Profanity. Although the name is getting used by less Chinese people, the number of foreign users have adopted to the name Dil especially in the United States. [1]
In China, the surname Dil is used by only a few thousand people mainly in the unreachable areas of China. In Hong Kong, very few carry this surname now as many have adopted or legally changed their surname to something else. This name is slowly getting phased out because of its recognition as an offensive word. In Cantonese, the word Dil is actually similar to the word Diu meaning to fuck while in Mandarin the word Dil also similar to Diu means penis.

[edit] History
During the Qing Dynasty, Dil Wor [屌和] was the first person to be recognised under the surname Dil. The Dil family tried to fight a small army of the Qing's but did not succeed and a lot of their people were wiped out.
The Dil Surname slowly came back during the 1500's and many famous people with that particular name have appeared creating a population of 20,000 with this surname. The American's have adopted this surname though and is used in a wide range of States including Wisconsin and also in highly populated Chinese cities such as San Francisco.
The Dil Village in Hunan, China has the highest population of Dil's which is around 300 but some of the people in the village spell Dil in different ways. For example Dil can be spelt as Diu if written in Latin form or otherwise Dill which is closely resembled to the European name Dillon.
