Last name origins & meanings:
- Chinese:
 this name has at least two origins. The
first is from one of the names of the legendary emperor Huang Di
(2697–2595 bc), also known as You Xiong; some of his
descendants adapted this name as their surname. A second origin traces
it to the end of the Shang dynasty in the 12th century bc: at
this time there lived in the state of Chu a wise scholar and author,
Yu Xiong, who served as teacher to the duke of Zhou, Wen Wang, famous
for his virtue. Some of Yu Xiong’s descendants adopted their
illustrious forebear’s given name as their surname. - Laotian
