Migration and Distribution (Lack of information) The Huangfu surname is not included in the top 100 surnames in the Chinese mainland and Taiwan. According to the records in "Tang Shu·Table of Prime Ministers' Lineages", Huangfu originated from the Zi surname. Chong Shi, the son of Duke Dai of Song, had the courtesy name Huangfu. Chong Shi's grandson took his grandfather's courtesy name as the clan name and thus adopted the surname Huangfu. During the Han Dynasty, Huangfu Luan, a descendant of the Huangfu family, changed "Fu" to "Pu". This process is also recorded in "Tongzhi·Clan Chronicles". The above historical documents indicate that the predecessor of the Huangfu clan was Huangfu, and they were descendants of the noble family of the State of Song in the Spring and Autumn Period, with a history of more than 2500 years of having this surname. This surname originated in the eastern part of present - day Henan. Later, the descendants moved to the State of Lu and then from Lu to Maoling, which is now northeast of Xingping County, Shaanxi Province, and developed into a prominent and well - known clan there. The first person to change Huangfu to Huangpu was Huangfu (Pu) Luan of the Han Dynasty, and he was also the founding ancestor of the Huangfu clan in Maoling. The prominent clan was located in Anding Commandery (around present - day Guyuan County, Gansu Province).
