| Da Qiao | 大喬 | |
| Ta Ch‘iao | 大乔 | |
| Elder of Wu’s Qiao Sisters. Sister to Xiao Qiao. Married to Sun Ce. | ||
Notes: Da (大), in this context, translates to ‘Big’, thus ‘Elder’. Rather than refer to her as the ‘Older Qiao’, the name Da Qiao has become a popular alternative. Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were names first used by Koei in Dynasty Warriors 3 when the characters were introduced. Note that Da4 and Xiao3 can still be used in this context in the modern-day family, and usually as the surname. |
