Meaning & Origins
Chinese 顾: from the place name Gu. Records of the this surname go back to the Xia dynasty (2205–1766 BC), when there existed a state called Gu. Much later, during the Spring and Autumn period (722–481 BC), there existed another state of Gu. Eventually, some descendants of the ruling class of both these areas adopted the place name as their surname.
