Chinese Surname
Meaning: The surname 熊 (Xióng) has multiple origins. One theory suggests it traces back to the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, specifically to Chongli, a son of Emperor Zhuānxū, who was enfeoffed in Xiong (modern-day Xinzheng, Henan) and later adopted the surname 熊. Another theory links it to the rulers of the State of Chu during the Zhou Dynasty, many of whom had '熊' in their names, such as King Wu of Chu (Xióng Tōng) and King Wen of Chu (Xióng Zī), with some descendants adopting 熊 as their surname.
