Chinese Surname
Meaning: The surname 淳于 (Chún Yú) is an ancient Chinese compound surname tracing back to the descendants of the legendary Yan Emperor. During the Zhou Dynasty, a branch of the Yan Emperor's descendants was granted the fiefdom of Chunyu (modern-day Anqiu, Shandong). Their descendants adopted the name of the fiefdom as their surname, forming the 淳于 (Chún Yú) clan. In the Han Dynasty, the surname was temporarily simplified to 于 (Yú), but it was restored to 淳于 (Chún Yú) during the Sui and Tang dynasties.
