The surname Zhou is the ninth largest surname in China. It is an ancient surname with multiple ethnic groups and origins. It is based on the name of a clan and a country. It ranks 10th in the "Hundred Family Surnames". History can be traced back to the time of the ancient Yellow Emperor. Most people with the Zhou surname in ancient and modern times regard Houji, the Yellow Emperor's great-great-grandson, as the ancestor of the Zhou surname. Some people with the Zhou surname regard Zhou Chang, a minister of the Yellow Emperor, Ji Chang, King Wen of Zhou, or Ji Dan, the Duke of Zhou, as the ancestor of the surname.
The surname Zhou originally originated in the Weihe Plain area of ??today's Shaanxi Province. At the beginning of Zhou Dynasty, as the capital of King Zhou moved east from Shaanxi to Henan, the Zhou surname also moved from west to east. After King Ping moved east to Luoyang, the Zhou family multiplied on a large scale and became a giant clan.
The Zhou surname was originally mainly centered in Henan and Shaanxi. After the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms and the wars at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Zhou surname migrated to places such as southern Henan and northern Jiangsu, where it formed a prominent family. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the gentry with the Zhou surname moved southward on a large scale along with the Central Plains gentry.
