Migration distribution
The surname Xin is not among the top 100 surnames in both mainland China and Taiwan. The surname Xin comes from the pseudo surname. In ancient times, Emperor Yan was a famous clan leader. Among his descendants was an outstanding tribal leader named Zhu Rong. Legend has it that he was the first to invent the use of fire, thus ending the history of people eating hair and drinking blood, so he was revered as the God of Fire. Zhu Rong's descendants are divided into eight surnames, and Xin is one of them. Dayu was successful in controlling floods and was supported by the people, so Shun gave up his position as clan leader to Dayu. Later, Dayu passed the throne to his son Qi, who later established the Xia Dynasty, called Xia Qi. Xia Qi also granted one of his concubines, Zhi, to Xin (southeast of today's Heyang County, Shaanxi Province).
