Meaning: The surname 龚 (Gong) originates from the ancient Gonggong clan, a mythical water deity in Chinese mythology. Descendants of Gonggong adopted the surname 共 (Gong). Later, to escape calamity, a branch of the clan added the '龙' (dragon) radical to their surname, transforming it into 龚 (Gong). Historically, there are also branches of the Gong surname that trace back to the Ji and Jiang clans.
