Migration and Distribution (Not available) The Rong surname is not among the top 100 surnames in the General Catalogue of Family Names on the Chinese mainland and in Taiwan. It is said that in ancient times, there was a god of fire named Zhu Rong. Some of his descendants took his name as their surname, thus becoming the Rong clan. Since the Zhu Rong tribe expanded into new territories and migrated southward, most of the prominent families with the Rong surname have been from Jiangxi since ancient times, and this area was known as Nankang Commandery.
