Chinese Surname
Meaning: The surname 后 ('Hòu') originates from ancient China, tracing back to the descendants of Yuyang, the grandson of the legendary Yellow Emperor. Yuyang was granted the fiefdom of 后土 ('Hòu Tǔ'), and his descendants adopted 后 as their surname. Another theory suggests it comes from Houchu, a minister in the State of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period, whose descendants took 后 as their surname.
