Meaning: The surname 巩 (Gǒng) originates from the Zhou Dynasty (1046–256 BCE). It traces back to Gong Jian Gong, a minister of the Zhou royal court, who was granted the fiefdom of Gong (modern-day Gongyi, Henan). His descendants adopted the name of the fiefdom as their surname, hence the surname 巩.
