Dil (屌) is an uncommon Chinese surname. In China, the surname Dil is used by only a few thousand people mainly in isolated areas of China. Many people with the surname have adopted or legally changed their surname as Dil is a homophone of Diu, which is a profanity in both Cantonese and Mandarin. Although the name is becoming less common in China, the number of people with the name Dil who live outside of China has grown, especially in the United States.[1]
