We investigate a general structure of lepton mixing matrix resulting from the SU F (3) gauge family model with an appropriate vacuum structure of SU F (3) symmetry breaking.It is shown that the lepton mixing matrix can be parametrized by using the Wolfenstein parametrization method to characterize its deviation from the tri-bimaximal mixing. A general analysis for the allowed leptonic CP-violating phase δ e and the leptonic Wolfenstein parameters λ e , A e , ρ e is carried out based on the observed lepton mixing angles. We demonstrate how the leptonic CP violation correlates to the leptonic Wolfenstein parameters. It is found that the phase δ e is strongly constrained and only a large or nearly maximal leptonic CP-violating phase |δ e | ≃ 3π/4 ∼ π/2 is favorable when λ e > 0.15. In particular, when taking λ e to be the Cabbibo angle λ e ≃ λ ≃ 0.225, a sensible result for leptonic Wolfenstein parameters and CP violation is obtained with A e = 1.40, ρ e = 0.20 , δ e ∼ 101.76 o , which is compatible with the one in quark sector. An interesting correlation between leptons and quarks is observed, which indicates a possible common origin of masses and mixing for the charged-leptons and quarks. * Electronic address: liuzhuo@itp.ac.cn † Electronic address: ylwu@itp.ac.cn
