Usage notes

The surnames 肖 and 蕭／萧 (xiāo) were originally distinct, and 肖 was a rare surname. In Mainland China, 蕭／萧 was simplified to 肖 in the second round of Chinese character simplification promulgated in 1977. Though the second round of simplification was officially rescinded in 1986, many individuals in Mainland China originally surnamed 蕭／萧 (Xiāo) but had their surname simplified to 肖 did not change their surname back to 蕭／萧 (Xiāo). Most individuals who bear the surname 肖 (Xiāo) now were in fact originally surnamed 蕭／萧 (Xiāo) or descended from individuals originally surnamed 蕭／萧 (Xiāo).

Etymology 4
For pronunciation and definitions of 肖 – see 蕭.
(This character, 肖, is the second-round simplified form of 蕭.)
