Meaning: The surname 仇 (Qiú) originated from the Spring and Autumn period in the state of Song. It traces back to Qiu Mu, a senior official who died defending his ruler during a rebellion. His descendants adopted the character 仇 from his name as their surname. Another theory suggests it derives from the ancient Qiuwu clan, which later simplified to 仇.
