Meaning: The surname 梁 originates from the State of Liang, a small principality during the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046–771 BCE), located in present-day Ruzhou, Henan Province. After the state was annexed by the State of Chu, its descendants adopted the name of their ancestral homeland as their surname. Additionally, some branches of the Liang surname arose from changes or grants of surnames from other clans.
