Origin note
Hua/滑 is treated here as an old state or place-name surname, not as the adjective slippery. The main surname-book layer connects it with a Ji-surname Hua state or Feihua place-name tradition in the Spring and Autumn world; descendants later used the state or locality name as a surname. The page keeps the political-geographic origin layer distinct from the everyday smooth / slippery character meaning.
