Surname Origin

### Origins of the "Guan" Surname 1. **From the Ji Clan**: The descendants of Guan Zhong all took the name of their ancestor's fief as their surname and have been known as the Guan clan for generations. This branch of the Guan clan shares the same origin as the descendants of Uncle Guan. Previously, Uncle Guan was killed for rebellion and his reputation was ruined. In contrast, Guan Zhong was well - known, with both virtue and talent, and he also brought fame to the collateral Guan clan of King Mu of Zhou. Therefore, the descendants of the Guan clan respect Guan Zhong as the ancestral founder of the Guan surname, which is historically known as the legitimate line of the Guan clan. 2. **Descendants of King Mu of Zhou**: They took the name of the fief as the surname. 3. **Derived from Official Positions**: They originated from the official position of "Guanyue" during the Western and Eastern Zhou dynasties and took the official title as their surname. 4. **From the Xiongnu**: They came from the Modun Chaor of the Xiongnu during the Qin and Han dynasties and adopted Han surnames through sinicization.
