Source of surname:

The origin of surnames can be traced back to the ancient tribal society, which was formed by human beings in order to identify their own identity and family inheritance. The original surname is usually associated with the name of a tribe or family. For example, the Spartans in ancient Greece associated their surnames with the tribe or family to which they belonged. With the passage of time, the surname gradually evolved into a person's identity, representing a person's family, lineage, cultural background and social status.

The origin of surnames can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty, when a strict hierarchy was established and surnames came into being. At first, surnames were only available to royalty and nobility, while ordinary people had no surnames. With the passage of time, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, surnames gradually became popular, and ordinary people began to have surnames.

In history, surnames have also changed many times. For example, the Qin dynasty implemented a strict surname system, limiting the types and names of surnames. In the Ming Dynasty, surnames also changed due to immigration and migration.

In other parts of the world, the origin and development of surnames have similar characteristics. For example, in India, surnames represent a person's caste and social status; In Europe, surnames represent a person's family, descent and cultural background. In a word, surnames are cultural symbols formed by human beings to identify their own identity and family inheritance, representing a person's identity, lineage, cultural background and social status.
