Origin of the 费 Surname
The origin of the surname "Fei": 1. It comes from the "Si" surname, being descendants of Yu the Great of the Xia Dynasty. 2. It comes from the "Ji" surname and is derived from the name of a fief. According to "Tongzhi - Clan Chronicles", during the Spring and Autumn Period, a grandson of Duke Yi of Lu was enfeoffed in the Fei邑 (present - day Fei County, Shandong). His descendants then adopted the name of the fief as their surname. 3. It was changed from a compound surname of the Xianbei ethnic group. According to "Wei Shu - Official Titles and Ranks", during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the compound surname "Feilian Shi" (the surname of the elder brother of Emperor Xian of the Northern Wei) from the north of the Dai region moved south to Luoyang with Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei. After settling in the Central Plains, they changed their surname to the Han surname "Fei".
