Chinese Surname
Meaning: The surname 苟 (Gǒu) has a complex origin with several theories. One theory suggests it originated from the descendants of Emperor Huangdi, who were granted land in Gǒu (modern-day Xinzheng, Henan) and adopted the place name as their surname. Another theory connects it to the Gǒu clan of the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn period, who took their surname from their official positions. Additionally, some believe it originated from少数民族 (ethnic minorities) such as the Xianbei, who adopted the surname 苟 during their process of汉化 (sinicization).
