Famous People With the 习 Surname
Migration and Distribution (Not available) The Xi surname is not listed among the top 100 surnames in the Mainland and Taiwan. The Xi surname originated from a place name. There was a place named Mount Shaoxi (now Fengyang County, Shaanxi Province) in the Spring and Autumn Period. The local residents took the place name as their surname and became the Xi clan. Regarding the origin of the Xi surname, there is another theory (however, this theory is not fully annotated in historical records, so it is not included in the official origin). There was a small vassal state in ancient times that used "Xi" as its state name, and the people of the state passed down this as their family surname. It is said that the descendants of the Western Liang clan and Fugong all changed their surnames to Xi.
