Chinese Surname
Meaning: The surname 桂 (Guì) is derived from the name of the fragrant cassia tree (Guihua) and is often associated with beauty and nobility. Historically, it originates from two main sources: one is from the Ji clan, descendants of King Wu of Zhou, who were granted the fiefdom of Guì (now in Henan Province) during the Spring and Autumn Period, and adopted the name of the fief as their surname. The other source is from the place name Guìyáng (now in Hunan Province), where locals took the name of the region as their surname.
