Meaning: The surname 喻 (Yù) originates from the Spring and Autumn period. One theory suggests it derives from the state of 喻, established by Ji Feng, a brother of King Wu of Zhou, whose descendants adopted the state name as their surname. Another theory posits that it stems from the ancient office of 喻官, responsible for conveying the ruler's commands, with their descendants taking the official title as their surname.
