Origin of the surname 徐 Xú

According to legend, Ruomu was one of the two sons of Boyi. Boyi successfully assisted Yu the Great with resolving the Flood, so the King conferred one of the eight noble tribal names, Yíng, to the family of Boyi; and simultaneously Roumu was appointed as the King of the land of Xú. This was the beginning of the establishment of the state Xú. The state has been reigned over by the royal family for more than a thousand years, and had 44 monarchs. The state of Xú was eliminated by the state of Wú, since then in order to commemorate their ancestral pride, descendants of King Ruo'mu adopted their country's name, Xú, as their surname. Therefore, the surname, Xú, is originated from King Ruo'mu, and it belongs to the noble tribe of Yíng.

It is believed that 徐 is one of the branches of the royal house name Yíng, as well as later noble Manchurian family Šumuru, or Xiongnu of Central Asia.

A 2013 study found to be the 11th most common surname, shared by 19,300,000 people or 1.450%, with the province with the most being Jiangsu.

It is the 20th name on the Hundred Family Surnames poem.

Origin of the surname 許/许 Xǔ

The surname 許/许 Xǔ has multiple theories regarding its origin.

The most credible one states that the surname Xǔ originated from the feudal state of Xǔ in the area of Xǔchāng, now known as Jian'an District in Xuchang City,[1] of present-day Henan, during the Zhou Dynasty.

A different theory states that the surname originated even earlier with the fabled Xǔ You (许由), a sage in the time of the fabled Emperor Yao, not to be confused with the later another Xǔ You (許攸) who was a military strategist of the warlord Yuan Shao during the late Han Dynasty period. Xǔ You's descendants carried on the surname of their famed ancestor, thereby establishing Xǔ as a surname. Later on in the history of ancient China, it became popular among scholars of the time to postulate that Xǔ You must have been the ancestor of that feudal lord whose surname was Xǔ.[2]

The posterities with state as surname called Xǔ, were authentic known as Xǔ. In tale of Emperor Yao, Xǔ You posterities surname also called Xǔ. Xǔ by handing down was the person of integrity talented person of Yao and Shun time, lives in Jishan. After many years later, the posterity called this mountain as Xǔ Youshan. More than years ago activity near Yu Yingshui the basin under Jishan.[3] As there are many dialects in Chinese speaking world, there are several spellings of surname Xǔ.
