Chinese Surname
Meaning: The surname 游 (Yóu) originates from the Spring and Autumn period, tracing back to the state of Zheng. It is derived from the Ji clan, specifically from Prince Yan, the son of Duke Mu of Zheng, whose descendants adopted the character 游 (meaning 'to swim' or 'to travel') as their surname. Another theory suggests that 游姓 comes from the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, who were granted land named 游 and took the place name as their surname. Some 游姓 individuals also changed their surnames from other clans, such as from 尤姓.
