Surname Origin

The origin of the surname "Yun" (云): 1. The surname "Yun" is derived from the "Yun" (妘) surname. It is a family name based on the name of a state. According to "Zuo Zhuan", in ancient times, there was a state called "Yun" (妘), also known as "Yun" (郧). Its former site was in Yun County, Hubei Province. Later, it was destroyed by the State of Chu. After that, there emerged the surnames "Yun" (云), "Yun" (芸), "Yun" (郧), and "Yun" (员). 2. It was changed from a compound surname of the Xianbei ethnic group. According to the "Guan Shi Zhi" in "Wei Shu", during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Xianbei compound surname "Dieyunshi" (牒云氏) from the north of the Great Wall moved south to Luoyang with Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. After they settled in the Central Plains, they changed their surname to the Han - Chinese surname "Yun" (云).
