[edit] Literal meaning

Is the literal meaning of this surname "gallop"? Badagnani 08:16, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

No it doesn't mean "gallop" literally, although Zhongwen.com does suggest that the name is meant to show a speeding horse, since Feng consists of the character "Ma" 马，with an "ice" radical of two lines indicating speed or movement.Tryptofeng 12:20, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
