Chinese Surname
Meaning: The surname 伊 originates from ancient China, with two primary theories on its origin. One theory posits that it traces back to the Yellow Emperor's descendants, taking the name from a river in present-day Henan and Anhui provinces.

His descendants adopted his name as their surname.
